Original passport, issued by Catherine the Great for English financier and
businessman.Thomas Tooke, (1774-1858) was one of the leading scientific economists
of the age (Schumpeter), and one who brought to bear on his theories of economics
and finance the practical experience of business life. Born in St Petersburg, he left at
an early age, armed with the passport offered here, for London, where he soon
managed a large Russian house.
He is considered 'the founder of the contra-quantity theory of money the view that
monetary policy is powerless to influence prices because the supply of money
depends on the flow of money expenditure and hence is the result and not the cause
of price changes. His best-known works wre 'On the Currency in Connexion with the
Corn Trade, 1829, Considerations on the State of the Currncy, 1826 and Inquiry into
the Currency Principle, 1844.
