Synopsis

"The Silver Standard" explores how silver once acted as a silent power, influencing global empires and economies, far preceding modern paper currency. The book highlights silver's critical role in shaping world commerce and monetary systems, examining its rise as a globally recognized store of value. One intriguing aspect is how silver's inherent qualities, like malleability and relative scarcity, made it perfect for coinage, driving trade and impacting political power. The book argues that silver was more than just a commodity; it was the linchpin of early globalization, connecting continents in unprecedented ways.

 
The book uses a global perspective connecting disparate regions and historical periods through silver. Beginning with the concept of commodity money, it progresses to analyzing specific historical periods and regions, detailing silver's production, distribution, and use in various economies. A key point is the examination of the Spanish silver boom in the Americas and its effects on Europe and Asia.

 
The book concludes by exploring the legacy of the silver standard, drawing parallels to current monetary policy debates and modern discussions about digital currencies.

Medieval Invasions of Italy The:...

Editors Charles River

The gradual collapse of the Roman Empire brought monumental changes to Europe and beyond. The system that once bound both sides of the Mediterranean Basin together was gone, and with it, many of the connections people from Mesopotamia to Spain and from Gaul to Arabia once enjoyed. In its place, a period of transition began - once referred to as the “Dark Ages,” although that term has fallen out of favor with modern scholars - after the Western Roman Empire ended in 476 and a host of new, primarily Germanic people inherited Roman lands, wealth, and ideas in Western Europe. Many of these Germanic tribes established large kingdoms, such as the Vandals in Spain and North Africa, the Franks in Gaul, the Visigoths in Spain, and the Ostrogoths in Italy. 
Like the other Germanic tribes, the Lombards originated in Scandinavia before migrating slowly through central Europe, and as the Western Roman Empire collapsed and the Byzantine successor state in Constantinople attempted to reestablish order, the Lombards took advantage of the chaos and planted themselves firmly on Italian soil.  
	As the Roman Empire in the West collapsed, the Berbers succumbed to the Vandals, a Germanic tribe from Europe, in the 5th century CE. However, the Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople rather than Rome, underwent something of a renewal, and the whole of the African coast from the Sinai Peninsula to the Straits of Gibraltar returned to Byzantine rule. With that, the Berbers were once again subject to a foreign power, but soon they would exchange their new masters for another, the Arabs, who would bring a new religion, Islam. Through Islam the Berbers would once again come into their own and influence the course of Mediterranean history as their ancient ancestors had done.
