The Conclusion summarises the main arguments presented in the book. It contextualises, once again, the book’s discussion of communal currency by contrasting it with the statist and metallist perspectives. The book ends by briefly describing how the memory of the Bank Restriction was forgotten and then rewritten by nineteenth-century authors such as Harriet Martineau and Thomas Carlyle as they saw the ‘cash nexus’ as the antithesis of communal relations.
