About This Book

An analytical study of Indian monetary arrangements from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, examining the rupee's shift away from silver, implications of a gold-exchange standard, and the role of paper currency. It assesses administrative practices that have stabilized the rupee's gold value, debates proposals for a gold coinage, and evaluates instruments such as council bills, remittances, government reserves, and banking operations. The work considers effects on trade, prices, and public finance, discusses proposals to secure convertibility for foreign payments, and analyses discount rates and banking structure to recommend policy adjustments for currency stability and efficient financial administration.

About the Author

Keynes, John Maynard portrait

John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory and practice of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. He is best known for his work "The Economic Consequences of the Peace," which critiqued the Treaty of Versailles and its economic implications for Europe after World War I. Keynes advocated for government intervention in the economy to mitigate the adverse effects of recessions, a concept that laid the groundwork for modern economic policies. His influential theories, often referred to as Keynesian economics, emphasized the importance of aggregate demand in driving economic growth and stability.
