  Gresham's Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gresham's law is commonly stated as: "When there is a legal tender currency, this bad money drives good money out of circulation".
Gresham's law applies specifically when there are two forms of commodity money in circulation which are forced, by the application of legal tender laws, to be respected as having the same face value in the marketplace.
Gresham's law says that any circulating currency consisting of both "good" and "bad" money, where both forms are required to be accepted at equal value under legal tender law, quickly becomes dominated by the "bad" money.

 Gresham's Law - LoveToKnow 1911
GRESHAM'S LAW, in economics, the name suggested in 1857 by H. Macleod for the principle of currency which may be briefly summarized - "bad money drives out good." Macleod gave it this name, which has been universally adopted, under the impression that the principle was first explained by Sir Thomas Gresham in 1558.
Macleod states the law in these terms: the worst form of currency in circulation regulates the value of the whole currency and drives all other forms of currency out of circulation.
Gresham's law applies where there is under-weight or debased coin in circulation with full-weight coin of the same metal; where there are two metals in circulation, and one is undervalued as compared with the other, and where inconvertible paper money is put into circulation side by side with a metallic currency.

Gresham's law is stated as: "Bad money drives good money out of circulation".
In the original discussions of Gresham's law, money was conceived of entirely as metallic coins, so the commodity value is the market value of the bullion of which the coins are made.
In Gresham's day, bad money included any coin that had been "debased," Debasement was often done by members of the public, cutting or scraping off some of the metal.

 Dr. Robert Mundell on Greshams Law
Gresham had the wide interests fitting to "the greatest merchant in London." He was a banker and goldsmith, with a shop in Lombard Street, as well as a mercer; but he was a considerable country gentleman besides, with estates, chiefly in Norfolk, where his father had considerable property.
Gresham's Law has powerful explanatory power in the world of free-coinage bimetallism that dominated the international monetary system for most of the two centuries between the 1660s and the 1870s.
The historian who knows of Gresham's Law merely as an empirical proposition might well be puzzled when he find that, after good and bad coins had been circulating concurrently for decades without a noticeable deterioration in the average quality, at one point of time the good coins had suddenly begun to grow very scarce.

 User:Octothorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Naturally the sudden rise in the cost of British exports led to a significant drop in demand, and a substantially negative effect on trade balances and British industry.
Greshams Law came into play on this the newly formed international money market.
These problems were caused by the unrealistic overvaluation of the pound by poorly implemented legal tender laws in Britain.

Thus we see that the Common law of England, as applied in the Colonies, understood the power to "regulate value" as part and parcel of the power to fix a "standard".
Thus under English common law and that law as applied by the Colonists, the Continental Congress and finally under the Government of the United States Constitution a fixed weight of silver was recognized as the standard by which to measure all other coins both gold and silver.
Although these coins met the old common law standard of "not [being] upon the same footing with the other [Constitutional Coins]" the wisdom of Congress in not properly regulating a proper ratio between silver and gold is suspect.

 A.Word.A.Day -- Gresham's law
Gresham, a financial adviser to Queen Elizabeth I, wrote to her "good and bad coin cannot circulate together."]
Gresham's law says that when both are required to be accepted as legal tender, inferior money remains in circulation while the good money tends to be hoarded or exported.
In general, the law applies to situations outside the financial world as well: for example, bad politicians drive out good ones.

The difference between such laws and outright slavery is only one of degree: in each case, the essence of the matter is that people are forced to associate with others against their will.
Under the parliamentary law of Congress, when this happened, Congress became sine die (pronounced see-na dee-a; literally "without day") and thus when Congress adjourned sine die, it ceased to exist as a lawful deliberative body, and the only lawful, constitutional power that could declare war was no longer lawful, or in session.

Perhaps, within the context of this educational debate, we should be looking for an alternative "law" or paradigm to describe the way in which such private schools invariably fall to elitism & other forms of social stratification.
Of course, I may be wrong about Gresham, in which case I am happy to be corrected.

 Science and Human Values - Copernicus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In 1496 he traveled to Italy for a decade's stay, during which time he studied medicine and canon law, and after reading the works of Regiomontanus, interested himself in astronomy.
In 1500 this interest was intensified when he attended a conference in Rome that dealt with calendar reform, understood to be necessary since the time of Roger Bacon two centuries before, but not to come for another seventy years.
Then, too, in working on currency reform, he came up with the notion that the appearance of debased currency drives good coins into hiding -- something later called "Greshams' law" after an economist who was a younger contemporary of Copernicus.

It was not my task to analyze the laws of private limited companies in different countries, but to show how the clear advantages of the private limited company turn to disaster for the society under the industrialism and the so-called democracies from the mid 1800s.
All laws concerning the private limited company in the different countries are partly different, but a lot of the substance, of the rights and the responsibilities are rather common.
The Danish parallel to John Law’s Missisissippi-companies is without any doubt the Transatlantic Company, that went bankruptcy and took the (Danish) Agriculture Bank with in its fall 1923.
