History of Monetary and Credit Theory from John Law to the Present Day

by Charles Rist

Published 1 February 1995

Rist traces the development of theories concerning currency and credit from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the 1940s. He combines his unsurpassed knowledge of the subject with a comprehensive account of the economic conditions in which the theories and controversies arose. Using simple and clear language, Rist does much to dispel the dull image of currency and credit analysis.
