About The Book: The Silver Question and the Gold Question by Robert Barclay explores the economic and monetary debates of the 19th century regarding the use of silver and gold as currency standards. Barclay examines the consequences of demonetizing silver, advocating for bimetallism—the use of both metals to stabilize economies and promote international trade. He critiques the shift toward the gold standard, arguing it caused deflation, economic hardship, and inequality. The work emphasizes the need for a fair and balanced monetary system that includes silver to ensure broader economic stability and benefit for both developed and developing nations within global commerce. About The Author: Robert Barclay (1648–1690) was a prominent Scottish Quaker theologian and writer, best known for his influential work An Apology for the True Christian Divinity (1676), which defended Quaker beliefs, particularly the supremacy of the Inner Light over reason and scripture. Born in Moray, Scotland, and educated in Paris, he declined a Catholic inheritance to join the Religious Society of Friends in 1667. Barclay wrote extensively in defense of Quakerism and supported George Fox. Though often imprisoned for his beliefs, he remained active in religious debates and held court favor.
