Paper Money in Theory and Practice in History

International Workshop

"The Origin of Paper Money in Theory and Practice"

Hosted by the Economics Department City University London 8-9 April 2010

Call for Papers

Paper and fiat monies have been used as means of 
exchange for many centuries, and their
circulation has been accompanied by the emergence 
of a series of theories attempting to
explain the dilemmas that they pose. The 
objective of this workshop is to explore and
illuminate the origin and acceptance of paper 
money and paper monetary systems. We will
therefore focus on the development of monetary 
systems and monetary theory within the
context of paper money by combining empirical 
historical research with research on the
history of economic theory specifically on money and credit.

Abstracts of not more than 400 words should be 
sent to the workshop organizers by the new deadline
of 31 January 2010.
