Shakespeare and Goethe: On Gresham's Law and the Single Gold Standard is a book written by Benjamin E. Green in 1900. The book explores the economic theories of Gresham's Law and the Single Gold Standard, as well as the views of William Shakespeare and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe on these topics. Gresham's Law, first proposed by Sir Thomas Gresham in the 16th century, states that when two currencies of equal face value are in circulation, the undervalued currency will be hoarded and the overvalued currency will be spent. The Single Gold Standard, on the other hand, advocates for a monetary system in which all countries use a single currency backed by gold.Green examines how these economic theories were discussed and represented in the works of Shakespeare and Goethe. He argues that both writers were keen observers of economic trends and that their works contain valuable insights into the workings of the economy. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the economic theories and their representation in Shakespeare and Goethe's works. Green's analysis is based on extensive research and draws on a wide range of sources, including the writers' plays, poems, and other writings, as well as historical and economic texts.Overall, Shakespeare and Goethe: On Gresham's Law and the Single Gold Standard is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between literature, economics, and history. It offers valuable insights into the economic theories of Gresham's Law and the Single Gold Standard, as well as the views of two of the greatest writers in the Western canon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
