Editorial Reviews
Geoffrey Wood, Economic Affairs, volume 16, no. 4, Autumn 1996
This is a fascinating, scholarly, and readable book, with a misleading -- because it implies too narrow a focus -- subtitle. It clarifies some long-running disputes (perhaps a step to resolving them) and raises implicitly but forcefully a question of great importance.
Frank G. Steindl, Journal of the History of Economic Thought, volume 19, no. 1, Spring 1997
The subtitle of this first-rate, scholarly study indicates much about its purview. It is in large part a biography of Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz's Monetary History, with the former as the center of attention. The depth of scholarship is impressive and reassuring. In addition to the substantial literature spawned by the Monetary History, the principal additional source is the Friedman Papers at the Hoover Institution. These contain extensive correspondence and lecture notes. Daniel Hammond's is a remarkable performance. He gives an objective, even-handed discussion, a difficult task in light of the very contentiousness of the debate.
