    A very good choice. I admit to having read Rothbard's "What Has Government Done to Our Money?" twice in 2008.

    An excellent book. Except for the part where he recommends the gold-standard.

    I agree with Gary North. He said:

    "The definition of a crazy person is someone who keeps doing something, over and over, even though it fails to achieve his goal. It is time for defenders of sound money to cease being crazy. It is time to stop promoting the traditional gold standard. The traditional gold standard is a game for suckers."

    I would like to know opinion from people here about this explanation of the economic crisis: Economic Crisis Explained. It seems to have a monetary approach and a different proposal.

    If suitable, post the article in this blog.

    I don't remember if Rothbard called for a government gold standard or not. It could just be a personal gold standard, in which case I agree, gold is probably best. Not very practicle for small purchases though.
