What has government done to our money?

Book • 1963
In this book, Murray N. Rothbard provides a detailed history of money, tracing its development from early barter systems to the gold standard and finally to modern systems of paper money.

He argues that government interference with money has led to inflation, economic instability, and the erosion of the value of currency.

Rothbard also presents a case for a return to a 100 percent gold standard, arguing that it would promote honesty and ethical behavior in government and banking.

The book is known for its clear and passionate explanation of Austrian economic theory and its critique of central banking and fiat money.
