“In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic. All of us, from the Governor of the Bank of England downwards, are now primarily interested in preserving the stability of business, prices, and employment, and are not likely, when the choice is forced on us, deliberately to sacrifice these to outworn dogma, which had its value once, of 3 pounds, 17 shill ings, 10 1/2 pence per ounce. Advocates of the ancient standard do not observe how remote it now is from the spirit and the requirements of the age. A regulated nonmetallic standard has slipped in unnoticed. It exists.” AgeSpiritValuesChoicesSacrificeStandardsGoldEnglandInvestingAncientEmploymentPoundsStabilityDogmaGovernorsRequirementsUnnoticedRelicsGold StandardShills Book:The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Essays in persuasion Source: The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Essays in persuasion
