What kind of mischief can result from misunderstanding the monetary system? The work of 2 obscure Scottish chemists destroyed the presidential prospects of William Jennings Bryan, as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision to appease a few senators from the American West who helped communism triumph in China, are just 2 such mishaps cited in this important work by Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman.

This accessible work also provides an in-depth discussion on the creation of value: from stones to feathers to gold; the central role of monetary theory and how it can act to ignite or deepen inflation; and what the present monetary system means for both the domestic and global economy.

An interesting book on economic history, though I would have preferred it to have been read by Traber Burns like The Indispensable Milton Friedman

A useful book for a non-economist

This was one of the moment disappointing books in monetary history and economics I have read in a very long while. It is a incoherent collection of essays written for different journals, and lumped together for a book with minimal editing work. This comes through the way book unfolds. From chapter tot chapter it leads the reads across disjointed arguments and lines of thinking about economy and monetary history. I am disappointed.

A disappointing book, incoherent and lacking a clear focus
