David Hume on Canadian Paper Money: An Overlooked Contribution
揭示哲学家大卫·休谟在1752年分析国际调整的铸币流动机制之外，还曾以英国外交官身份参与谈判，处理英国征服加拿大后新法兰西的未偿纸币问题。
The philosopher David Hume is renowned in international monetary economics for his 1752 analysis of the specie-flow mechanism of international adjustment. He has been viewed in the literature as an abstract theorist, writing without direct practical experience of public policy or monetary affairs. This paper shows Hume in the unfamiliar role of a British diplomat negotiating the settlement of the outstanding paper money of New France after the British conquest of Canada.
