Gold and Empire: The Bank of England and South Africa's Gold Producers

Russell Ally

4.9/5 (29930 ratings)

Description:The Witwatersrand gold discoveries of 1886 dramatically altered the course of South Africa's history. They also had an important impact on South Africa's place and role in the world's economic network, at a time when the gold standard was used as the basis of international currency. Ally's book is a detailed study of this impact. Drawn largely from the Bank of England archives, its particular concern is the relationship that developed between the Bank of England as leader of the international gold standard and South Africa's gold producers. The study shows that while the Bank's interests changed over the period under review, its one constant preoccupation was to ensure the disposal of South Africa's gold through the London gold market. This determination rested on the belief that control of South Africa's gold supply was essential if Britain's international standing was to be maintained. The implications of this policy for South Africa's role in the imperial economic system were both direct and important.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
