Summary

"The Regulating Silver Coin, Made Practicable and Easie, to the Government and Subject" by a Lover of his Country is a historical exploration of England's late 17th-century money problems. This book provides a close look at the failing silver coin system, the shortage of silver, and possible fixes to the money situation. It carefully studies the actual worth of money, concentrating on England's money problems when the country was at war. It claims the silver coins were not very good leading to an increased export of the coins and an instability in the market. Chapters examine the poor quality of coins, their scarcity, ways to bring silver into the country, and ideas for reforms to make the money system more stable. The book suggests retrieving the bad coins, fairly paying the owners, and issuing new coins that have good value. It's all about making the economy better, supporting trade, and bringing back trust in England's money.
