His study reveals that in a whole series of historical cases over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries faulty economic principles were applied to the developing system. His bold conclusions include suggestions that: commercial banks should be required to maintain 100 percent reserves on all demand-deposit accounts and thus be denied the present privilege of creating credit-money; and the federal government should be the sole creator of money in the economy. As in his previous book, Hixson challenges generally accepted historical and economic wisdom, making this a significant contribution to the literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728653222176,"sku":"NEW027594607X","price":101.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/5178ccd-KhL.jpg?v=1779425166","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/triumph-of-the-bankers-money-and-banking-in-the-eighteenth-and-nineteenth-centuries-bibliographies-indexes-in-anthropology-s-027594607x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
