Abstract

O artigo examina alguns aspectos das controvérsias monetárias que ocorreram em vários países durante o século XIX. No Brasil, os defensores do padrão ouro e da restrição monetária, conhecidos como metalistas, prevaleceram sobre os papelistas, cujo principal desejo era a expansão monetária e a criação de crédito. Argumentaremos que os tratamentos anteriores dos debates monetários no Brasil do século XIX ignoraram um ponto crucial, a saber, a defesa (ou não) da conversibilidade dos mil-réis. Isso levou a interpretações errôneas da ideologia subjacente à gestão monetária no período. JEL Classification: N16; E51.
