"The leading and most persuasive explanation of the worst economic disaster in American history" (Ben S. Bernanke).

First edition, first printing, of this "truly monumental work of scholarship that changed the economics profession's understanding of the role of money in the economy and radically altered the way the majority of policymakers viewed the world". "Among other things, it rejected the prevailing sociological theory of inflation and replaced it with the monetary theory - now almost universally accepted. Especially significant was its examination of the role of federal decisions about monetary policy as factors causing and prolonging the Great Depression. It was extensively reviewed when it appeared by economists from across the political spectrum and more than half a century after its publication it was still one of the most cited books in economics" (ANB). Though unmarked as such, the book comes from the library of Friedman's colleague, the economist Roman L. Weil (1940-2023). Weil was professor of accounting at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business from 1965 until 2008, working alongside Friedman, who dominated the Chicago economics department in his tenure as professor from 1946 to 1977. Weil coauthored several textbooks, including the highly regarded Accounting: The Language of Business (1974), as well as over 100 journal articles and notes. He developed the widely used Fisher-Weil measure of bond duration. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in silver. With dust jacket. Slight bump to spine, minor spotting to top edge; unclipped jacket with a few chips and tears at extremities, slight soiling, spine panel sunned: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
