The second half of the nineteenth century is correctly known to have culminated in the emergence of the gold standard as the first truly international monetary regime. The processes leading up to this remarkable feat are, however, far less documented or understood. Economic historians have only recently started digging into the causes behind the 'fall of silver' that preceded the scramble for gold. It is nowadays clear that its effects were felt worldwide. Not in the least, silver depreciation severely affected East-West trade. It was, among other factors, behind the bankruptcy of several powerful institutions as the Oriental Bank Corporation. Yet at the same time, it cemented the position of other banks, some of which exist until this very day (HSBC, Standard Chartered). What did these banks know that others did not? In Accounting for the Fall of Silver, Michael Schiltz explains that the 1870s and 1880s witnessed furious experiments with new financial products and, equally important, strategies for hedging exchange rate risk. Drawing on archives that have never been used before, the book throws new light on an important episode of nineteenth century world history. At the same time, it illuminates lesser known aspects of the first gold standard period. It draws attention to the existence of 'carry trades' between European money markets and the lesser liquid Asian periphery; and describes the creation of financial contracts with the sole aim of enabling commodity finance among Asian mercantile centers.

Michael Schiltz analyses the efforts by nineteenth century banking to mitigate the effects of the depreciation of silver. He shows that strategies for hedging exchange rate risk were created earlier than traditionally thought, and explores the relationship between Great-Britain and its colonies in Asia, and the rise of Japan as a financial power.

The main question of the valuation and its present evil position. The main question involved in the demonetization of silver has recently attracted public attention in England, because the fall in the value of that material and the Indian exchange, to the great alarm of Indian interest, brings it under our consideration. But India's interests are only a part of the general question, there are other nations dealing in silver, or in gold and silver combined; and further, the interests of all nations, including those dealing only in gold, are bound up with it, and the latter part of the inquiry will be found to be the most important. What does the demonetization of silver mean ? For the information of those not already familiar with the principal facts of the case, the following remarks may be useful: ? Gold and Silver have served as legal tender money from time immemorial; that is to say, payments to any extent could be legally made in either the one or the other material in proportions of weight to value, which, either upon the real or assumed difference in degrees of nobility between the two metals, or according to national practice, influencsd as much as necessary by international practice, assumed a definite figure in the coinages. Although these proportions differed at various times in different countries, within a few per cent., they may be stated as one part of gold equal to 15 parts of silver. Until the beginning of this century silver was the principal standard for legal tender. The French, during their great revolution, adopted both metals as legal tender in the precise proportion of 1 to 15]. France, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland, in 1856 formed the so-called Latin monetary union, confirming these proportions; and a few other States...
