# 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.
