Abstract
The paper, written in 1998, discusses competing interpretations for international flows of gold and silver following the California and Australia gold discoveries. Against monetary interpretations of the “Eastern Drain,” it reasserts the importance of autonomous flows of silver to the East and in particular to India, as rooted in habits and cultural norms and independent from the international price mechanism.
