Lawrence H. White (ed.) The History of Gold and Silver, 3 vols
Somewhat misleading title, as these three volumes focus mainly on the debates surrounding the Gold, Silver and Bimetal Standards and their influence on economic thinking. Professor White has brought together such diverse papers as Nicholas Oresme's De Moneta (c. 1355), John Locke on raising the value of money (1696), Walter Bagehot on the effects of the gold discoveries of the mid-19th century (1863) and Francis Walker on International Bimetallism (1896). A gold mine of economic views on the role of gold.
