What Has Government Done to Our Money? Case for the 100 Percent Gold Dollar (LvMI) (English Edition) eBook Kindle
The Mises Institute has united this book with its natural complement: a detailed reform proposal for a 100 percent gold dollar. "The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar" was written a decade before the last vestiges of the gold standard were abolished. Rothbard's unique plan for making the dollar sound again still holds up. Some people have said that Rothbard tells us what is wrong with money but not what to do about it. Well, with the addition of this essay, the problem and the answer are united in a comprehensive whole.
After presenting the basics of money and banking theory, Rothbard traces the decline of the dollar from the 18th century to the present and provides lucid critiques of central banking, New Deal monetary policy, Nixonian fiat money, and fixed exchange rates. He also provides a blueprint for a return to a 100 percent reserve gold standard.
The book made huge theoretical advances. Rothbard was the first to prove that the government, and only the government, can destroy money on a mass scale, and he showed exactly how they go about this dirty deed. But just as importantly, it is beautifully written. He tells a thrilling story because he loves the subject so much.
The passion that Murray Rothbard feels for the topic comes through in the prose and transfers to the reader. Readers become excited about the subject and tell others. Students tell professors. Some, like the great Ron Paul of Texas, have even run for political office after having read it.
Rothbard shows precisely how banks create money out of thin air and how the central bank, backed by government power, allows them to get away with it. He shows how exchange rates and interest rates would work in a true free market. When it comes to describing the end of the gold standard, he is not content to describe the big trends. He names names and ferrets out all the interest groups involved.
Since Rothbard's death, scholars have worked to assess his legacy, and many of them agree that this little book is one of his most important. Though it has sometimes been inauspiciously packaged and is surprisingly short, its argument took huge strides toward explaining that it is impossible to understand public affairs in our time without understanding money and its destruction.

1. Clarity
Many people have said about Rothbard, and it rings true, that he is an incredibly clear writer and makes complex ideas more easily comprehensible. People from New York tend to be forthright and leave you in no doubt what they think, and he is certainly easier to read than the Austrians from Austria, yet his content is just as brilliant and innovative.
2. Comprehensiveness
This is a real treatise on money, starting right at its origin and working systematically from there to enunciate to the reader a logical and complete journey through the system of money and banking in a free society. He also compares different monetary systems at the appropriate points.
3. Content
Though built on deep scholarship, Rothbard's ideas are highly original. Thorough reasoning means he takes positive views of the free market to their logical normative conclusions.
This book is certainly different to other views about money that you can find, and the classical gold standard is certainly a more achievable goal for people with broadly the same concerns about the fiat system. However I would posit Rothbard and this work should be present in any serious discussion of monetary policy.
I recently read this book, and also Debt: The First 5,000 Years . While I found "Debt" compelling (it is essentially a refutation of books such as Rothbard's) I found "What has Government Done to our Money" far more convincing and tightly argued. Some of our country's most pressing economic problems can trace their roots, at least partially, to the debasement of our nation's currency. This book clearly shows the problems with this approach.
Given the rise in the scope and invasive nature of government, the time for a rediscovery and application of the Austrian view of currency is past due. I do not consider myself entirely a libertarian, but with each passing year living in an America deformed by the policies of Barack Obama I find myself moving more in an Austrian direction.
Modern America, with its unjust wars of aggression, debased currency, invasive government, and completely distorted economy is suffering greatly. Rothbard, Mises, and Hayek provide the most cogent intellectual defense against the most egregious abuses of the modern American state. For this reason alone it is past time these ideas go mainstream, and begin informing our political and economic discussions at the highest level.
Très intéressant pour compléter les études monétaires Autrichiennes.
Très clair et très bien écrit.
