This was the book that changed my views the most, it's an eye-opener for someone who was born in the current banking system and grows beng told it's the way it should be done. ( ) Such a timely book, even the 1990 edition now that China is questioning the position of the US dollar in the world economy and as our financial world seems doomed. An especially useful section is the explanation of stages from the fairly smooth 19th century, to the effect of WWI, then depression, Bretton Woods and finally Nixon ending the system in 1971. Short, readable, but hits the important points. This would be a very good supplementary reading for any economics course. Rothbard’s masterwork is an extended essay and tour de force; a detailed description of the origins of money, its nature, and government’s sins against it. He originally published it in 1963, and then extended it in 1991 to include later events. He exposes some of the falsity inherent in our current ‘global economy’ as well as the risks and instability it contains. He points toward the soon to be born Euro, and some of the 2008 ‘crises’. I cannot strongly enough recommend this book for one point of view that helps to understand that crisis. I cannot improve on Llewellyn Rockwell's hope in his introduction to the fourth edition: "May this book be distributed far and wide, so that when the next monetary crisis arrives, Americans will, finally, refuse to put up with what the government is doing to our money." aucune critique | ajouter une critique
