The Bullionism I learned about had nothing to do with mercantilism and the keeping of gold. Bullionism was a school of thought that held that a money-issuing bank will not cause inflation as long as it does not increase the amount of paper or credit money to a level above the amount of coin (bullion) that would have circulated in a purely metallic money system. The debate was most active from 1800-1810. David Ricardo was a prominent bullionist, while Charles Bosanquet was a prominent antibullionist. Google "bullionism new school CEPA" for more. I might delete this article and rewrite if I don't hear back from someone.128.125.38.162 18:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you should delete it. But if bullionism can mean different things, perhaps a disambiguation page is in order? Make a new page about the definition you know. --Oracleoftruth (talk) 18:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
