Content introduction:

Money is a huge wheel of a country's economic prosperity and recession. As one of the main forms of money, silver played a particularly important role in China's monetary history of China from Song and Yuan Dynasties to modern times, with a time span of nearly 1000 years. From 65438 to 1940s, China participated in the creation of the world market with silver as the medium, and began to evolve into the "Silver Empire", creating a prosperous time. 18-19th century, when the west made the transition to the gold standard and gradually gave birth to the modern financial system, China still stuck to the silver standard and the "Silver Empire" gradually came to an end.

Through the investigation of this period of history, The Silver Empire analyzes the endless silver line behind the rise and fall of China society. From the monetization of silver to the silver standard, from the failure of paper money to China's dependence on silver, from China's participation in creating the world market to being subject to the western economic system, this book combs the difficult course of silver becoming the standard currency. In addition, the author also focuses on the paper money experiment in China, which started hundreds of years before the West, and China's adherence to silver under the global gold standard trend, and discusses the influence of the great divergence between China and the West and China's silver standard on future generations. Therefore, this is not only a history of Chinese currency, but also a spy on the social changes in China.

The thousand-year history of China's currency shows not only the circulation of silver and social replacement, but also the echo from the depths of history and the projection of human nature. Everyone who cares about the past, present and future of China's economy can learn from it.
