# Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest is published

Date: 1692

## The fact

In 1691–92 Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest, and Raising the Value of Money appeared as a public tract against a bill to cap interest. It is a dated interest-law argument, not the 1695 Further Considerations on raising the denomination of coin. [John Locke](/people/john-locke)’s documented role is: He published a 1691/92 tract against a legal maximum-interest bill. Parliament debated; he wrote the public argument. Do not twin this with the 1695 Further Considerations coinage pamphlet. Interest law is not silver denomination. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. John Locke's documented role is: He published a 1691/92 tract against a legal maximum-interest bill. Parliament debated; he wrote the public argument.

## Context

A [House of Commons](/organizations/house-of-commons) proposal to lower legal interest already sat in the file. Locke argued that a cap would not cheapen money as intended. Later collected ‘Works’ are not 1692 type. This is not Wealth of Nations. Named others on the file: Parliamentary proposers of the cap, unnamed readers in the money interest, and later printers of collected works share the file. The public setting is the file around 1692-01-01. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Contribution type is direct. The instrument stays Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest is published. The setting of Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest is published is the public file around 1692-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Contribution type is direct. Driver [fiscal-policy-sustainability](/drivers/fiscal-policy-sustainability) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Shared responsibility is part of Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest is published. Naming John Locke does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1692-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
