The book outlines Spooner's proposal for a banking system that utilizes the vast amounts of real estate and infrastructure available in Massachusetts and by extension the United States to create a new form of currency. The likely topic centers around banking reform and the promotion of a paper currency that is backed by productive assets rather than gold or silver. In this work, Spooner critiques the existing banking system, mainly the "National" banks, arguing that it is monopolistic and detrimental to the economic well-being of the broader population. He outlines an alternative system that uses mortgages and railroads as banking capital, leading to the creation of a more accessible and abundant currency. This new system promises not only to provide sufficient credit and liquidity to individuals and businesses alike but also to ensure stability without inflating prices. By emphasizing the connection between currency, credit, and economic productivity, Spooner seeks to enable a more equitable financial environment that empowers both workers and entrepreneurs.
