# Degradation of Silver
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The reduction in silver's purchasing power relative to other commodities,
|
||||
occurring when artificial policies like bounties increase the nominal price
|
||||
of goods without increasing their real value.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book IV, Chapter 5
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith argues that bounties degrade silver's value by forcing up the nominal
|
||||
price of corn, which serves as the regulator of all other commodity prices,
|
||||
thereby reducing silver's ability to purchase home-made goods.
