It should be one of the best understood of human institutions, but it's not. It's one of the worst understood, by both its advocates and detractors. Though it has been spurned by governments many times, this has never been due to a fault of gold to serve its duty, but because governments had other plans for their currencies beyond maintaining their stability. And so, says Nathan Lewis, there is no reason to believe that the great monetary successes of the past four centurie 410 0$aAgora Series 606 $aMonetary policy 606 $aBusiness cycles 606 $aGold standard 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonetary policy. 615 0$aBusiness cycles. 615 0$aGold standard. 676 $a332.4042 676 $a332.4222 686 $a83.50$2bcl 700 $aLewis$b Nathan K.$f1971-$0895742 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910143686103321 996 $aGold$92001020 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04207nam 2200997 450 001 9910790669803321 005 20230803021736.0 010 $a0-520-95651-6 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520956513 035 $a(CKB)2550000001123646 035 $a(EBL)1429398 035 $a(OCoLC)862030505 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001190078 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11813157 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001190078 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11189310 035 $a(PQKB)10192375 035 $a(DE-B1597)519579 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520956513 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1429398 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10773730 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL525363 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1429398 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001123646 100 $a20131018e20132001 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAutobiography of Mark Twain$hVolume 2 /$fBenjamin Griffin and Harriet Elinor Smith, editors ; associate editors, Victor Fischer [and three others] 210 1$aBerkeley :$cUniversity of California Press,$d[2013] 210 4$dİ2001 215 $a1 online resource (773 p.) 225 1 $aMark Twain papers 300 $a"A publication of the Mark Twain Project of the Bancroft Library." 311 $a0-520-27278-1 311 $a1-299-94112-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter --$tCONTENTS --$tList of Dictations --$tAcknowledgments --$tAUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MARK TWAIN.

Published to rave reviews, the Autobiography was hailed as the capstone of Twain's career. It captures his authentic and unsuppressed voice, speaking clearly from the grave and brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Mark Twain's life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Filled with his characteristic blend of humor and ire, the narrative ranges effortlessly across the contemporary scene. He shares his views on writing and speaking, his preoccupation with money, and his contempt for the politics and politicians of his day. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Editors: Benjamin Griffin and Harriet E. Smith Associate Editors: Victor Fischer, Michael B.
