The gold standard, as defined in
3 recent work on money (A Primer
f Money, by D. G. Woodward and
Marc A Rose), "fixes the unit of a
nation’s money as a definite weight
of pure gold, or gold of a given fine-
ness, and pledges tthe nation to pay
money for all gold offered, likewise
to redeem in gold all money offered,
at fhe specified rate.”
Economists generally name three
operations as essential to mainte
iance of the gold standard:
(1)
ree e: port and import as an ordi-
tary commercial transaction; (2)
ree conversion of currencies into
>14 at contr 1 banks or government
reasurics; (3) purchase or sale of
gold at a fired price by central
banks or treasuries on request.
