Goldbugs and Greenbacks: The Antimonopoly Tradition and the Politics of Finance in America, 1865–1896
Ritter, Gretchen (University of Texas, Austin)
This is a book about the late-nineteenth-century money debates in American politics, and about the role of history in American political development. Behind the discussions over gold versus silver and state versus national banks was a broader dialogue about sectionalism, class relations, and the future course of the American economy and democracy.
