The Gold Standard in Austria-Hungary
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52195/pm.v19i2.811Resumen
Al tratar de descifrar la razón por la cual Austria-Hungría, en particular su capital Viena, fue un punto de acceso a la innovación, la cultura, la ciencia y las actividades intelectuales alrededor del año 1900, el sistema monetario de la é poca, el patrón oro, que duró de 1892 a 1914, debe reconocerse como un factor fundamental. Este sistema monetario era una versión del patrón oro clásico, que Austria-Hungría compartía con América del Norte y otros países europeos. Este artículo recopila literatura y datos sobre las circunstancias que dieron lugar a la transición de Austria-Hungría a un patrón oro, el debate que siguió, las contribuciones clave de Carl Menger a este debate y la posterior implementación y curso de este sistema, junto con las ventajas y desventajas que tenía.
