A History of Money and Banking in the United States: The Colonial Era to World War II, a posthumous collection of Murray N. Rothbard essays published by Ludwig Von Mises Institute, features reprints of four hard-to-find essays and one entirely new one. Topics range from Andy Jackson's destruction of the Second Bank of the U.S. to the enforced move to paper currencies, with an emphasis on Gresham's law. Ryan McMaken reviews the book at LewRockwell.com.
