Some Reading on the Role of Money

Tweet [1]

Historian Steve Davies is one of my all-time favorite scholars.  Here’s his recent take on today’s market turmoil [2].

My friend, the great monetary theorist and historian George Selgin, once wrote a pamphlet for the Institute of Economic Affairs [3] entitled Less Than Zero [4], arguing that in times of economic growth the price level should be allowed to fall (as more goods being chased by a stable supply of money means that each unit of money will buy more goods).  It’s an important point that is, sadly, too little heeded.

A shorter version of George’s pamphlet is published here, by National Review.
