Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: World Commodities & World Currency (Paperback)
I recommend using the "look inside" feature to get a feel for the language. If you enjoy reading what's there, then maybe this book is for you.
I was not able to extract any theories as to why a currency tied to basket of commodities is a good idea.
