MOGGRIDGE (D.E.)
British Monetary Policy 1924-1931. The Norman Conquest of $4.86.

The second published book by the Cambridge economist Donald E. Moggridge in which he convincingly demonstrated how the return to gold in 1925 lead to an over-valuation of sterling by as much as 10-12 per cent, focusing particularly on how the British authorities attempted cope with this over-valuation and, in particular, why they advocated this policy in the first place.

Moggridge’s research focused primarily on interwar Britain, however, he is best known for his work on editing the collected writings of John Maynard Keynes.
