Series: Columbia Studies in International and Global History. Published by: Columbia University Press. By the end of the nineteenth century, the world was ready to adopt the gold standard out of concerns of national power, prestige, and anti-English competition. Yet although the gold standard allowed countries to enact a virtual single world currency, the years before World War I were not a time of unfettered liberal economics and one-world, one-market harmony. Outside of Europe, the gold standard became a tool for nationalists and protectionists primarily interested in growing domestic industry and imperial expansion.

To my surprise, however, only a rather small part of the book - 38 pages, actually - deals with the Classical Gold Standard on an international basis. Much of this consists of discussions surrounding bimetallism, and the abandonment of silver after 1870. Japan’s silver-centric system ran into troubles with the decline in silver vs gold after 1870; plus, the government was printing money to pay war expenses, leading to depreciation of paper banknotes even against the declining value of silver.

Outside of Europe, the gold standard became a tool for nationalists and protectionists primarily interested in growing domestic industry and imperial expansion. This overlooked trend, provocatively reassessed in Steven Bryan's well-documented history, contradicts our conception of the gold standard as a British-based system infused with English ideas, interests, and institutions. Policymakers of the 1920s latched onto the idea that global prosperity before World War I was the result of a system dominated by English liberalism.
