Reviewer comment:
The late author is considered a follower of the Austrian School of economic
theorists following Ludwig von Mises and Friedreich Hayek. I am not so sure,
having studied those leaders. But Rothbard certainly is prolific in his
publications. He is also very polemic in his style, something his predecessors
were not. The very title of this booklet indicates his thinking. He despises
government (especially big government) and considers money to be 'our' money.
His theories about the origin and development of money are very controversial.
But they are the basis for his theories developed in many other books. I will
attempt to review those I list here and try to show their interrelationships.
And I give links to several other books on money or banking
