Beschreibung

First edition, first printing, of this "truly monumental work of scholarship that changed the economics profession's understanding of the role of money in the economy and radically altered the way the majority of policymakers viewed the world" (ANB). "Among other things, it rejected the prevailing sociological theory of inflation and replaced it with the monetary theory - now almost universally accepted. Especially significant was its examination of the role of federal decisions about monetary policy as factors causing and prolonging the Great Depression. It was extensively reviewed when it appeared by economists from across the political spectrum and more than half a century after its publication it was still one of the most cited books in economics" (ibid.). Octavo. Folding charts. Original green cloth, spine lettered and decorated in silver. Light rubbing and a few nicks at extremities, minimal dulling to spine, a couple of ink marginal lines else contents clean. A very good copy.
