Description:

Presenting a fresh view of the motives behind various governments' decisions to remain on or defect from the gold standard in the early 20th century, this study specifically analyzes the influence of domestic politics on national responses to the international economy.

Synopsis:

In this work Beth Simmons presents a fresh view of why governments decided to abide by or defect from the gold standard during the 1920s and 1930s. Previous studies of the spread of the Great Depression have emphasized "tit-for-tat" currency and tariff manipulation and a subsequent cycle of destructive competition. Simmons, on the other hand, analyzes the influence of domestic politics on national responses to the international economy. In so doing, she powerfully confirms that different political regimes choose different economic adjustment strategies.
