E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Search form for all Money pages in this directory The search form covers all my pages on money, not just those on historical aspects. Monetary History History and Chronology of Money This is a series of essays I wrote based on a 700 page book on the History of Money from Ancient Times to the Present Day by my father, Glyn Davies, and a fairly extensive online chronology in 18 parts. Amonong the topics covered in the essays are the origins of money and banking, the causes of inflation and swings in the money supply, the influence of warfare on financial history, how British financial history affects British attitudes to European Monetary Union, American financial history: from Wampum to the almighty Dollar, and the problems of indebtedness and weak currencies in developing countries. Other Sources on Monetary History A collection of links to other material on the history of money from various sources around the world. It includes a section on the problem of determining the current value of old money. Forms of Money Numismatics For most of recorded history coins have been the most convenient form of money for everyday use. These links give access to sources of information on coins and paper money. E-Money Will electronic money be the money of the future? Read about the theories, the experiments and the arguments. The Politics of Money Monetary Controversies and Alternative Viewpoints A collection of links to sources on controversial and contentious issues. Libertarian Views on Money Should governments control money? Ever since the widespread adoption of coinage governments have attempted to maintain a monopoly of minting. The development of paper money forced governments to share some of their power with banks. Libertarians would go further and allow free competition between currencies - not just national ones but also those created by private firms. The Euro - Europe's Planned Single Common Currency What are the prospects for European monetary union? This page contains links to official EU information sources and to other sources expressing a variety of viewpoints. Alternative Monetary Systems and Forms of Exchange Barter Barter still has an important place in the modern world. These links show how the Internet is being used to support barter. Local and Interest-Free Currencies and Informal Credit Systems At a time when the future of national currencies is threatened by plans for European monetary union it may seem paradoxical that local currencies for particular towns or regions are being established by groups of volunteers in many different countries. These Local Employment Trading Systems, or LETS, and other interest-free currencies and informal credit systems, are intended to stimulate local ecomomies and combat unemployment. Financial Scandals and Frauds - in Fact and in Fiction Financial Scandals Scandals such as the collapse of BCCI, Barings and BRE-X have hit the headlines all over the world. These links provide access to sources of information on these and numerous other financial scandals. Financial Thrillers This is about work by my sister, Linda Davies, a former merchant banker who gave up her career to become a novelist. Her first two books, Nest of Vipers and Wilderness of Mirrors, are both set in the world of high finance. Among the links from the navigation bar at the foot of her home page is one to a set of pages on the financial fiction genre in general, covering the subject of banking and finance in fiction from the time of Dumas, Dickens, Thackeray and Zola to the present. In 1997 Linda Davies addressed a conference of bankers in Amsterdam on the subject of the psychology of risk, speculation & fraud. The Economics of the Internet and Economics on the Internet The Internet and Economics The Internet is both a global forum and a new international market place. It resembles the agora or meeting place of Athens and other city states in ancient Greece which was both a market place and a venue for philosophical and political discussions. Read about the economics of the Internet and its economic impact. Accountancy, Banking and Finance Useful links to sources of information on accountancy, banking, stock markets, personal finance, currency codes and conversion between currencies, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There have been visitors to this page since 15 November 1995.
