The Currency of Empire: Money and Power in Seventeenth-Century English America
Jonathan Barth reveals how control over money shaped the English empire’s early colonial politics in seventeenth-century America. He examines mercantilist regulations, silver exports, colonial resistance, smuggling, clipping of coins, and the policy crises of the 1670s. Currency controversies presaged later American demands for fairness and autonomy.
