Abstract
Abstract: This paper examines the relationship in William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses between the “one-drop rule” and the economic precept known as Gresham's Law. I explore the connection between these two laws of circulation in Faulkner's text, situating the novel's sustained interest in both biological and financial inheritance within a broader history of the relationship between slavery and the monetization of gold.
