沒學過經濟，有些好奇的問題:

Suppose some psychic issues some junk  but manages to make people think it is genuine silver, then it would work just fine as silver currency? Logically, does that demonstrate the arbitrariness of silver as currency?

China gained the arbitrary silver from the West while the west gained definite goods from China. What is the justification in here?

Suppose the Chinese government then had sufficient authority and control to issue paper currency like today, would it work out without the silver?

• 和美國的今天異曲同工。不同是，印出來的美元由全世界消化，元朝時隻有依賴自己人了。 -笑薇.- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/10/2022 postreply 04:53:01

• 元朝是貿易立國，所以特別依賴於貨幣製度。元朝的滅亡是因為歐洲黑死病後絲綢之路斷絕，貿易受阻，國家財政陷入困境， -為人父- ♂ (122 bytes) () 03/10/2022 postreply 05:17:50
