Flat Money Inflation in France (Illustrated)
*Illustrated

Andrew Dickson White (November 7, 1832 – November 4, 1918) was a U.S. diplomat, historian, and educator who was the co-founder of Cornell University. At the time of Cornell's founding, White announced that it would be "an asylum for Science—where truth shall be sought for truth's sake, not stretched or cut exactly to fit Revealed Religion". Up to that time, America's private universities were exclusively religious institutions, and generally focused on the liberal arts and religious training (though they were not explicitly antagonistic to science).
In 1869 White gave a lecture on "The Battle-Fields of Science", arguing that history showed the negative outcomes resulting from any attempt on the part of religion to interfere with the progress of science. Over the next 30 years he refined his analysis, expanding his case studies to include nearly every field of science over the entire history of Christianity, but also narrowing his target from "religion" through "ecclesiasticism" to "dogmatic theology." Though contemporary historians dismiss this view, White’s views are still influential regarding the relationship between religion and science.
Though he’s known for his work at Cornell and in the “conflict thesis” between science and religion, White also did some economic work. This edition of White’s Flat Money Inflation in France is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures.
