1820 年代，西班牙美洲铸币垄断的瓦解意味着推动现代早期全球贸易扩张的银本位制的终止。本文分析了由此产生的对中国和美国的经济影响。该分析将西班牙美洲的货币发展与中国国内的需求方解释以及 1780 年代后北美作为世界白银贸易中介人日益占据的主导地位联系起来。这篇文章挑战了一些既定观念，即鸦片进口造成的白银外流或南美产量下降造成的白银短缺是十九世纪中国经济困难的主要原因。通过与北美机构在管理国内货币影响方面的运作进行比较，文章强调了中华帝国缺乏任何垄断货币权威的令人困惑的地方。
The breakdown of the monopoly of coinage in Spanish America by the 1820s meant the cessation of the silver standard that had fueled the expansion of global trade in the early modern period. This article analyzes the resulting economic effects in China and the United States. The analysis connects monetary developments in Spanish America with demand-side explanations within China and the increasingly dominant role of North Americans as intermediaries of the world's silver trade after the 1780s. The article challenges established notions that silver outfl ow from opium imports or silver shortages from falling South American output were the main causes of economic troubles in nineteenth-century China. Through a comparison with the workings of North American institutions in managing domestic monetary effects, the article highlights the puzzling lack of any monopolistic monetary authority in imperial China.
