In this volume, Murray Rothbard has given us a comprehensive
history of money and banking in the United States, from colonial
times to World War II, the first to explicitly use the interpretive
framework of Austrian monetary theory. But even aside from the
explicitly Austrian theoretical framework undergirding the
historical narrative, this book does not look or feel like standard
economic histories as they have been written during the past
quarter of a century, under the influence of the positivistic new
economic history or cliometrics.
