作为一本奥地利学派经济学家的著作,无须翻看内容就可以将其观点以一概之:政府是坏的,自由市场是好的,又或者用上扉页文绉绉的词句:“指望政府救市的理念和措施,不仅无助于市场的完善,甚至会拉长经济危机的期限。”然而如果我们仅仅满足于一个观点——恰恰这是国人最常用...
评分介绍了一下货币的历史,中央银行的运作制度,货币的扩张体系。 知识点不多,和教材没法比,但胜在写的清楚。 可以一读。 豆娘,写完了,没有了,真没有了,真的真的没有了。 短吗?真的短吗?真的真的很短吗? 好吧,是很短。
评分根据史实记载,某国王(好像是西班牙的)因国库亏空于是想通过让货币里的含金量减少来囤积黄金。这是劣币逐良币出现的第一个前提。 或者这么看,假设旧币原本一个等价于1克黄金,而现在国王通过0.5克黄金做出了一个新币,通过新币等量换取旧币,就用0.5克赚了1克黄金,如此,...
评分虽然我觉得罗斯巴德在很多方面是比较武断。但是我非常喜欢他的写作风格,我的很多观点其实是与之不同,但是更多观点是受到他的影响。可以说我的自由主义入门就是由他的《美国大萧条》和《自由的伦理》而起。 他是当之无愧的一代奥派宗师。是奥地利学派的对世界发生影响起到至...
评分买这本书的目的就是想看看罗斯巴德如何评说美联储,坦率地说,比较失望。关于美国央行的沿革,尤其是美联储的运作机制,描写过于浅显,(包括上半部分的商业银行准备金制度,也是如此)。 要透彻理解奥地利学派,不如读《货币生产的伦理》;而要想了解跌宕起伏的经济帝国之央...

Talk about great timing. Rothbard's extraordinary book unravels the mystery of banking: what is legitimate enterprise and what is a government-backed shell game that can't last. His explanation is clear enough for anyone to follow and yet precise and rigorous enough to be the best textbook for college classes on the topic. This is because its expositional clarity--in its history and theory--is essentially unrivaled.
Most notably, he uses the T account method of explaining the relationship between deposits and loans, showing the inherent instability of fractional reserve banking and how it sets the stage for centralization, inflation, and the boost-bust cycle.
But there is more here. It is an explanation of money's origins and its meaning in the free market. The abstract theory is here but always with real application in history and in modern banking practice. Never does a paragraph go by without an example drawn from his massive knowledge of the subject.
Even further, he explains the integration between microeconomics and the business cycle. As Douglas French writes in the introduction: "Although first published 25 years ago, Murray Rothbard’s The Mystery of Banking continues to be the only book that clearly and concisely explains the modern fractional reserve banking system, its origins, and its devastating effects on the lives of every man, woman, and child. It is especially appropriate in a year that will see a surge in bank failures, central banks around the globe bailing out failed commercial and investment banks, double-digit inflation rates in many parts of the world and hyperinflation completely destroying Zimbabwe’s economy, that a new edition of Rothbard’s classic work be republished and made available through the efforts of Lew Rockwell and the staff at the Ludwig von Mises Institute. Priced affordably for students and laymen interested in the vagaries of banking and how inflation and business cycles are created."
Further, Joseph Salerno explains in the Foreword: "The Mystery of Banking is perhaps the least appreciated work among Murray Rothbard’s prodigious body of output. This is a shame because it is a model of how to apply sound economic theory, dispassionately and objectively, to the origins and development of real-world institutions and to assess their consequences. It is “institutional economics” at its best. In this book, the institution under scrutiny is central banking as historically embodied in the Federal Reserve System—the “Fed” for short—the central bank of the United States.
"Rothbard’s presentation of the basic principles of money-and-banking theory in the first eleven chapters of the book guides the reader in unraveling the mystery of how the central bank operates to create money through the fractional-reserve banking system and how this leads to inflation of the money supply and a rise in overall prices in the economy. But he does not stop there. In the subsequent five chapters he resolves the historical mystery of how an inherently inflationary institution like central banking, which is destructive of the value of money and, in the extreme case of hyperinflation, of money itself, came into being and was accepted as essential to the operation of the market economy."
Incredibly, both authors correctly anticipate the current crisis -- and Rothbard explains it all and shows the way out. This is certainly the book for today, more essential than ever before.
