Money and Credit
The Theory of Money and Credit
Book •
In 'The Theory of Money and Credit', Ludwig von Mises examines the origins and functions of money, the relationship between money and prices, and the role of banking and credit in economies.
Written in the early 20th century, Mises explores how fractional-reserve banking and fiduciary media can lead to credit-driven booms and malinvestment.
The book lays groundwork for the Austrian Business Cycle Theory and critiques interventionist monetary policy.
It warns of two potential endgames for fiat systems: economic depression or hyperinflation, depending on policy choices.
The work is influential among advocates of sound money and critics of central banking.
