History & biography Money, banking & crises

A FEE anthology on inflation edited by Lawrence W. Reed, opening with Hans Sennholz on the evils of inflation and Reed's own case that government fuels rather than fights it. The rest works through historical hyperinflations: ancient Rome, the seventeenth century, the French Revolution, Weimar Germany, China in the 1930s and 1940s, and twentieth century Brazil and South America, with contributions from Henry Hazlitt, Hans Eicholz, Richard M. Ebeling, Jay Habegger and Gerald Swanson.
