Brief Considerations on the Income Tax and Tariff Reform, in Connection With the Present State of the Currency (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A practical plan to fix how money moves could ease suffering and steady commerce. This work argues that improving the nation’s circulation, not just levying taxes, is key to rebuilding economic health. It also proposes trying direct taxation in a controlled way to see real effects within a three-year window.

The author frames the issue in plain terms: when money is scarce, people buy less and prosperity falters. It weighs whether a national paper currency or a broader banking mechanism could offer steadier money, reduced volatility, and fairer tax effects. The aim is to present a calm, evidence-based discussion that weighs risks and benefits for everyday readers.

• Why money supply affects prices, taxes, and public welfare.


• Arguments for a currency system that relies on quantity over the metal material.


• How a National Bank or similar structure could be governed to prevent over- or under-issuance.


• How proposed reforms might interact with existing indirect and direct taxation.

Ideal for readers of economic history and policy debates interested in practical remedies for financial distress.
