“What Has Government Done to Our Money”, Murray Rothbard. Available fromthe Mises Institute book store - $17.00. Brandon Hill, manager; his telephone number: 334 321 2159. A compelling text onmoney. It concludes pressing the point that someone must propagate the truth in society. If scholars and intellectuals fail to do so…they are abandoning truth.
Recent article in the Telegraph (London) by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reported that City bankers, as they prepared for holiday reading in Tuscany, were buying up rare copies of an obscure book,published 1974, “The Death of Paper Money”.
Text on Google -thanks to the Mises Institute that posted it.
“Fiat Money Inflation in France” by Andrew Dickson White covers the breakdown of a nation as its leaders pursued a course from Rousseau with progressive utopian ideas to the guillotine, issuing fiat money to pay the way.White first gave a paper on the subject in New York City at The Union League Club. Available on line: again thanks to the Mises Institute.
* Grant’s endorsement on Mayer’s book “The Bankers, The Next Generation”.
