About this book
Rothbard's most famous monetary essay offers a concise mini-course on money: its origins, uses, and degradation by kings, politicians, and central bankers. He demonstrates how governments destroy money on a mass scale, traces the decline of the dollar from the 18th century onward, and critiques central banking, New Deal policy, and fiat money. A clear manifesto for sound money, often paired with his case for a 100 percent gold dollar.
