Extract

Recent schemes for international currency reform are unrealistic to the extent that they are derived as optimum solutions to economic problems alone. International currency arrangements are instances of international organization generally, and consequently fall within the scope of political sociology as much as—if not more than—of pure economics. Political complications must therefore not only be acknowledged, as they usually are, but analyzed as well, as they often are not. This essay represents an inquiry in that direction.

6 Apparently bills of exchange predate coinage by several centuries. The earliest known bills are written on slate tablets from the Babylonian empire of the 21st century, B.C., while the first formal coinage is traceable to King Gyges of Lydia, 716–678 B.C.

31 One can compare the average current account surplus from 1951 to 1955 with that from 1956 to 1960. For Germany it rose from 1.95 percent of the average Gross National Product to 3.04 percent; for the United States it fell from 1.21 percent to 1.04 percent. Clearly, world demand was shifting from American to German goods. (Computed from figures in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, General Statistics, 11 1962Google Scholar.)
