Jeremy Benthams Economic Writings: Volume Two

This volume contains all the writings that are grouped around Benthams boldest idea - the proposal of a circulating currency: a government sponsored currency which would be both a kind of savings certificate and a kind of paper money. The roots of this proposal are illustrated in two pamphlets from 1794-96, along with subsequent pamphlets and discussions which show Benthams unsuccessful negotiations with the trasury on this matter.
