Description

In The Age of Paper, Hiroki Shin provides the first detailed examination of how Britain transitioned to paper currency between the 1790s and 1830s. Part of the Cambridge Studies in Economic History series, this work explores the roles of the state, the nation, and the community in introducing new monetary forms. By analyzing archival materials and personal accounts, Shin offers new perspectives on how individuals and institutions responded to these transformations. A central focus is the Bank Restriction period (1797-1821), where communal currency became dominant. This research shows how paper currency gained its value from the community of users rather than from the state or the intrinsic value of precious metals. This book is an essential resource for those studying the history of finance, economic institutions, and British societal change.
