A History of Money and Banking in the United States Before the Twentieth Century

Murray Rothbard, in a complete revision of the standard account, traces inflations, banking panics, and money meltdowns from the Colonial Period through the mid-twentieth century to show how the American government's systematic war on sound money is the hidden force behind nearly all major economic calamities in American history.
This audio edition is narrated by Matthew Menzinskis.
