Bimetallists and Monometallists on European Monetary Unification (1865-1892). A comment on Claire Silvant

In the previous issue of this journal Claire Silvant argued that late 19th century bimetallists identified themselves more closely with the endeavour of European monetary unification than their gold monometallic counterparts. I will argue that, if anything, the reverse was true. French gold monometallists were more supportive of European monetary unification.Dans le numéro précédent de la revue, Claire Silvant défend l’idée que les bimétallistes de la fin du 19ème siècle s’identifiaient plus étroitement au projet d’unification monétaire européenne que les monométallistes. Dans ce commentaire, je conteste cette thèse et je défends la position contraire. Ce sont plutôt les monométallistes (étalon-or) qui soutenaient l’unification monétaire européenne
