词汇 gresham-s law
词源
Gresham’s Law. Though the tendency of bad money to drive good money out of circulation is known as Gresham’s Law, it was formulated as an economic principle long before Sir Tho- mas Gresham (ca. 1519–79). Gresham, a London merchant and founder of what is now the Royal Exchange, noted that the more valuable of two similar coins would be hoarded, but Co- pernicus and others had already made similar observations. Unaware that he had not formulated the principle, the econo- mist H. D. MacLeod named the law for Gresham in 1857.
