Well written

John Kenneth Galbraith was one of the best writers on economics. You don't agree with him to thoroughly enjoy his books. This is one of his best. JKG had a great sense of humor and didn't take himself seriously. He was serious about economics. I have one caution: Always read the preface. If he intended to let his personal beliefs enter into the book, that's where he'd tell you.

First discussed is a brief history of how money developed and what it is (a medium...

Money, come back!

This is JKG holding forth on that most perennially fascinating of topics. The subtitle ("Whence it Came, Where it Went") may bear a relation to the question on everybody's mind during the early and mid-seventies: why is our money behaving so badly? "In the twenty years before the founding of the [Federal Reserve] System there were 1748 bank suspensions; in the twenty years after it ended the anarchy of unstable private banking,...
