Abstract: This article analyzes the establishment of the gold exchange standard in India through the work of three economists: Alexander Martin Lindsay (1844-1906), John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), and Edwin Walter Kemmerer (1875-1945). Although they can be linked by David Ricardo's influence, they differed in their subsequent theoretical evolution. We will compare these authors' contributions to the formulation of the Gold Exchange Standard, which became dominant after the Genoa Conference of 1922.
