Kemmerer and The Free Market
I apologize for the pathetic tardiness but The Free Market database is up to date more or less.
And look at this: Gold and the Gold Standard (1944) by Edwin Walter Kemmerer. He was a professor of finance at Princeton, a favorite of Rothbard's, a huge deal in his day, and a fantastic advocate of a hard-core gold standard with full convertibility at all levels. I've only browsed the book but what do you bet that there is a ton of great material here, such as passages predicting everything that has happened. This little treasure could be worth reprinting.

If Edwin Walter Kemmerer was a favorite of Rothbard’s, that is more than enough for me. By all means, please reprint the book.
