Written over a century ago, this is a book for the ages.
I read this book early in my career, and it provided a basis for understanding money that helped form my current economic theories. Mises reveals how money originated in the market and how its value is based on its efficacy as a commodity in exchange.
Mises concisely lays out the case for sound money with no inflation and introduces the beginnings of a full-scale business cycle theory.
