Writing in the June 1965 issue of the "Economic Journal", Harry G. Johnson begins with a sentence seemingly calibrated to the scale of the book he set himself to review: 'The long-awaited "Monetary History of the United States" by Friedman and Schwartz is in every sense of the term a monumental scholarly achievement - monumental in its sheer bulk, monumental in the definitiveness of its treatment of innumerable issues, large and small ...monumental, above all, in the theoretical and statistical effort and ingenuity that have been brought to bear on the solution of complex and subtle economic issues'.Friedman and Schwartz marshaled massive historical data and sharp analytics to support the claim that monetary policy - steady control of the money supply - matters profoundly in the management of the nation's economy, especially in navigating serious economic fluctuations. In their influential chapter 7, "The Great Contraction" - which Princeton published in 1965 as a separate paperback - they address the central economic event of the century, the Depression. According to Hugh Rockoff, writing in January 1965: 'If Great Depressions could be prevented through timely actions by the monetary authority (or by a monetary rule), as Friedman and Schwartz had contended, then the case for market economies was measurably stronger.' Milton Friedman won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2000 for work related to "A Monetary History " as well as to his other Princeton University Press book, "A Theory of the Consumption Function" (1957).

安娜•J. 施瓦茨(Anna J. Schwartz,1915—2012),美国经济史学家,美国国民经济研究局高级研究员。
两位作者,Milton Friedman名满天下,Anna Schwartz女士却不为人知,简介只有半句话,补充点吧。Anna Schwartz是一位非常出色的经济学者,但由于十分低调,除此书之外,她在其他方面的学术成果与学术生涯鲜为人知。我们知道的是她的研究范围主要是美国和英国的货币史,1915年出...
评分去年下半年刚开始读的时候,感觉不是通俗读物,应该是教科书级别的吧,希望能短时间内可以读完。可是读了一百来页就放弃了。 后来先去读完了《力挽狂澜 保罗沃尔克和他改变的金融世界》,立马觉得可以继续这本书了,为了提起进一步的兴趣,我还是先读了《十年轮回 从亚洲到全球...
评分书中确实有很多与货币有关的数据,但是其重点明显倾向于当局的货币政策,同时,对国际收支及资本流动明显缺乏关注,对美元取得世界货币这一过程毫无叙述。译为美国货币史则嫌题目过大,如译为美国货币政策史,私以为远比美国货币史合适。 货币主义万岁
评分本书的详实研究对于身处危机中的我们有极其重要的参考意义,有必要经常重读。研读本书,尤其是对于银本位、金本位和信用本位的评述引发了我对于货币体系的更大兴趣,这也是打开当代资本主义体系的一把钥匙。 p5(9) 货币制度争论消除之后,金融和政治焦点转移到了银行业体系上...
评分如果把知识分为已知和未知两类的话,人唯一能采取的途径只是已知到未知,已知到已知是多此一举,未知到未知和未知到已知则都是荒谬了,而所谓已知一定是和“过去”无法分割的,从这个意义上,所有学科在研究的,无外乎是历史。 从学经济的一本教材就接触到了这本书,还记得曼昆...
best ever monetary history. the inception of monetarism
评分能读完这本书的都是变态:联储虽然成立于1914年,但其早年作用有限。联储地区银行和董事会之间的矛盾更是造成了其在大萧条期间无所作为。纽约联储更贴近市场,并且国际经验丰富,但是Strong死后,Harrison缺乏领导力,联储内部扯皮,议而不决,造成大萧条期间货币政策实际是紧缩的。在降低金融风险方面,联储的作用远不如1933年才成立的FDIC。1936年联储提高准备金要求更是带来紧缩和造成1937年的衰退。二战及此后一段时间,联储支持国债价格的措施影响了其货币政策的独立性。直到放弃该政策后,联储才变得更为独立,货币政策的考量也逐步摆脱了此前狭隘的cheap money policies。
评分“as stanley fischer once remarked, this is what taught economists that monetary policies affect price.. its imprint on the history of economic ideas is solidly etched.” — Christy and David Romers
评分best ever monetary history. the inception of monetarism
评分个中的诸多观点,在今天仍能引起争议。一流的研究者不止是解决问题,更能抛出问题引后人无限深思?
