This anthology contains seminal essays on the ideal monetary system. From Sennholz's discussion of Mengerian monetary theory to Ron Paul's espousal of a political agenda that champions a gold standard, readers will find that this book serves a dual role--It is both an introduction to Austrian monetary theory and a guide to important events in monetary history.

Be sure to add this edition featuring essays by some of today's foremost Austrian thinkers to your collection!
