Many of the greatest children’s books of all time were written during the British Imperial Century (1815-1914).

Unsurprisingly, England was on a sound money standard (the British Pound Sterling, convertible to gold) during this period.

This was also when the “Watchman State” was most prevalent, meaning there was minimal English government intervention in its citizens’ lives and economic affairs, beyond enforcing the non-aggression principle.

We can learn much from this era.
