He argues that raising the value of money can have both positive and negative consequences, depending on how it is done. Locke explores various methods of raising the value of money, including reducing the quantity of money in circulation, increasing the demand for money, and improving the quality of money. He also discusses the potential effects of these methods on trade, employment, and the overall prosperity of a nation. Throughout the book, Locke emphasizes the importance of stability and predictability in economic policy. He argues that sudden and drastic changes in the value of money can have harmful effects on the economy, and that any changes should be made gradually and with caution. Further Considerations Concerning Raising The Value Of Money is considered an important work in the history of economic thought. It provides valuable insights into the complexities of monetary policy and the potential consequences of economic decisions.That the World will not wonder you should not be for such a lessening our Coin, as will, without any Reason, deprive great Numbers of blameless Men of a Fifth Part of their Estates, beyond the Relief of Chancery. I hope this Age will scape so great a Blemish. I doubt not but there are many, who, for the Service of their Countrey, and for the Support of the Government, would gladly part with, not only one Fifth, but a much larger Portion of their Estates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
