Monetary finds and Gresham's law. Proceedings of the III International Congress of Numismatics and Monetary History. Padua 28-29 October 2005, edited by Michele Asolati, Giovanni Gorini, Esedra Editrice, Padua 2006, pp. 222, richly illustrated, 27 cm, br. and.

The expression "Gresham's Law" identifies the economic-monetary phenomenon according to which "bad money drives out good", that is, the practice that leads to spending, for the same face value, the coins with the worst metal content and to storing and accumulating those with better content. In the past, this practice had a fundamental importance and significant implications at a historical-economic level, but still today it continues to play a role, for example by pushing us to spend the most creased banknote and to keep the printable one. This book collects the contributions proposed during the III International Congress of Numismatics and Monetary History (Padua, October 28-29, 2005) on the theme of Gresham's Law and monetary finds. In particular, the results it had in the Greek, Celtic, Roman, Byzantine and medieval European world are examined in depth and its "paternity" is also discussed: attributed to Sir Thomas Gresham (ca. 1519-1579) in the second half of the nineteenth century , more likely, it can be traced back to Italian environments in which the phenomenon was already known and theorized a century earlier. The volume also includes as an appendix the re-edition of the contribution Uses and abuses of Gresham's Law in the History of Money by Robert Mundell, professor of Economics at Columbia University in New York and Nobel Prize in Economics in 1999.

The purpose of this work is to scientifically illustrate the monetary characteristics of north-east Italy during the Middle Ages. However, it is precisely the attention to the men who are at the origin of every economic choice that has allowed the understanding of those mechanisms that made these regions a vast and highly homogeneous money market. Market that contributed not a little to the great mercantile success of the Serenissima.

Monetary finds and inflation processes in the ancient and medieval world. Proceedings of the IV International Congress of Numismatics and Monetary History.

Numismatica Patavina, 9. Series directed by Giovanni Gorini.

The phenomenon of inflation, both as an increase in prices and as a debasement of money, is one of the most studied and debated in the studies of numismatics and ancient and medieval monetary history due to the undoubted repercussions on the contemporary world, which has always tried to limit it. the effects and to keep it under strict control. In fact, the real impact of the inflationary aspects on the economy of a historical period is very delicate and complex to study and understand, especially if we keep in mind the ancient and medieval monetary economies, which are sometimes quite precarious. This volume collects the contributions proposed during the IV International Congress of Numismatics and Monetary History (Padua, 12-13 October 2007) on the theme of the relationship between inflation and its effects on monetary finds. In particular, some aspects of the Greek and Roman world and the Italian medieval one are focused with a series of interventions by Italian and foreign scholars, who have faced this complex problematic analysis by proposing new solutions to old problems or advancing new research perspectives in the light of the documentation. that the continuous discoveries of coins, both isolated and in closets, bring to our attention for a critical and multidisciplinary approach.
