Gen. Longstreet Wars for Gold

Tags: Gold Standard, U.S. History

01/01/1996 Thomas J. DiLorenzo

The Gold Standard Act of 1890, which officially established the gold standard in America, was the culmination of a twenty-year battle between inflationists, who favored unlimited government purchase of silver (the "Free Silver" movement), and the advocates of sound money based on the gold standard. The inflationists were led by Senator John Sherman, author of the 1890 Sherman Silver Purchase Act (as well as the monopolistic Sherman Antitrust Act), brother of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman.

04/01/1987 Murray N. Rothbard

Mises demonstrated, as early as 1912, that no good can become a medium of exchange, much less a money, unless it has a previous non-monetary usefulness on the market. In short, money can only emerge as a commodity on the market, and cannot be imposed by the government, by social contract, or by various schemes of economists or other observers. Such plans have elsewhere been labeled correctly by Hayek himself as "constructivist." In short, media of exchange and therefore money can only arise "organically" out of market processes and cannot be imposed by outside schemers.

September 1986 is an historic month in the history of United States monetary policy. For it is the first month in over fifty years—thanks to the heroic leadership of Ron Paul during his four terms in Congress—that the United States Treasury has minted a genuine gold coin.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
