Abstract
This paper sets out the mechanics and equilibrating processes of indirectly convertible monetary systems in which currency-issuing banks redeem their currency with redemption media of the same value as the commodity or commodity basket that defines the dollar. It goes on to investigate the 'paradox of indirect convertibility' and suggests that indirect convertibility is feasible despite the paradox. Finally, it assesses the systems of Fisher, Hall, and others that have been suggested as alternatives to indirect convertibility but concludes that these alternative systems are open to serious objections.
