Money, Prices and Policy

New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1966 From the author's preface: "When I first started writing this book, my major purpose was to provide an introduction to money and banking that would be clear and readable for student and layman alike. Its success in this respect has been heartening, and revision provides an opportunity not only to update, but also to make the material conform even more closely to the needs expressed by its users. The most important of these changes are listed below. The book's orientation, however, remains the same; in examining the role that money plays in a modern economy, its ultimate objective is to add to an understanding of monetary policy and its effect on both national income and the standard of living of the individual. Policy, however, rests on the twin foundations of institutions and theory, and both of these, in turn, are illuminated by history as well as by current developments. The book, then, has four themes: history, institutions, theory, and policy. They overlap so extensively that only in the broadest sense can they be considered separate approaches. In each area it is hoped that this book makes a real contribution in presentation." ---------------- 854 pages including index ---------- Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
