Talk about great timing. Rothbard's extraordinary book unravels the mystery of banking: what is legitimate enterprise and what is a government-backed shell game that can't last. His explanation is clear enough for anyone to follow and yet precise and rigorous enough to be the best textbook for college classes on the topic. This is because its expositional clarity--in its history and theory--is essentially unrivaled. Most notably, he uses the T-account method of explaining the relationship between deposits and loans, showing the inherent instability of fractional-reserve banking and how it sets the stage for centralization, inflation, and the boom-bust cycle. But there is more. This book provides an explanation of money's origins and its meaning in the free market. The abstract theory is here, but always with real application to history and modern banking practice. Never does a paragraph go by without an example drawn from his massive knowledge of the subject.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. First edition of the work which explains the inherent instability of the modern fractional-reserve banking system and its origins. Very good in a good dust jacket with chipping to bottom edge and some modest rub to top of jacket spine. Some modest underlining in green ink to pp. 99-104 of the chapter on Deposit Banking, with the previous owner switching to brief snatches of purple "Hi-Liting" at pp. 134, 148, 158, and 173 in the chapters on Central Banking. Rothbard (1926-1995), the most prominent American student of Ludwig Von Mises, helped found the Von Mises Institute in 1982, authored "Man, Economy, and State," "America;'s Grear Depression,"and "For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto," and held that taxation was theft. "Murray Rothbard's 'The Mystery of Banking' continues to be the only book that clearly and concisely explains the modern fractional reserve banking system," notes Doug French, formerly of the Von Mises Institute.Joseph Salerno, Economics Professor at Auburn, adds: "It is institutional economics at its best. In this book, the institution under scrutiny is central banking as historically embodied in the Federal Reserve System, The Fed for short the central bank of the United States." 297 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 013055
