Abstract

Ricardo, father of the orthodox theory of the gold, standard, asserts; "Gold and silver having been chosen for the general medium of circulation, they are by the competition of commerce distributed in such proportions amongst the different countries of the world as to accommodate themselves to the natural traffic which would take lace if no such metals existed, and trade between countries were purely a trade of barter."
