Abstract
The policies now being applied in Britain have been pursued with varying degrees of emphasis for the greater part of the past century. The current combination of monetarist deflation and an overvalued currency is of course most closely paralleled by the return to the Gold Standard from 1925–31, but it has been the mainspring of economic policy over much of the period since it first came to prominence in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars.
