Available for the first time in over 140 years, these two "lost" treatises by libertarian legal philosopher Lysander Spooner present his vision for a radically decentralized monetary system rooted in privately issued competitive currencies and free-banking.

Once presumed to have been destroyed in a turn-of-the-century fire, these writings contain Spooner's most extensive foray into economic theory and reveal new insights into his distinctive and uncompromising free-market vision.
