Constitutional Money: A Review of the Supreme Court's Monetary Decisions de Richard H. Timberlake

Constitutional Money: A Review of the Supreme Court's Monetary Decisions

Autor Richard H. Timberlake
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2014
This book reviews nine Supreme Court cases and decisions that dealt with monetary laws and gives a summary history of monetary events and policies as they were affected by the Court's decisions. Several cases and decisions had notable consequences on the monetary history of the United States, some of which were blatant misjudgments stimulated by political pressures. The cases included in this book begin with McCulloch v. Maryland in 1819 and end with the Gold Clause Cases in 1934–5. Constitutional Money examines three institutions that were prominent in these decisions: the Supreme Court, the gold standard and the Federal Reserve System. The final chapter describes the adjustments necessary to return to a gold standard and briefly examines the constitutional alternatives.

Recenzii

'Richard H. Timberlake provides a tour de force on the history and unconstitutionality of the US government's meddling in the US monetary system. Constitutional Money is the definitive reference in its field, a true classic.' Kevin Dowd, University of Durham
'The leading historian of US monetary institutions, Richard H. Timberlake further enriches our knowledge of the evolution (or devolution) of the dollar with his latest work. Constitutional Money shows how Supreme Court decisions paved the way for paper to supersede gold and silver, and for the federal government to supplant decentralized market-based monetary arrangements. Those who do not learn from this history will be unarmed in the coming battle of ideas over how we might constrain government's role in the monetary system.' Lawrence H. White, George Mason University
'Professor Timberlake's Constitutional Money embodies abundant research by himself and other scholars. His review of Supreme Court decisions, both majority opinions and dissents, makes a fascinating story with elements of suspense. Timberlake writes smoothly, with flashes of brilliant phrasing and an attractive mix of short and moderately long sentences.' Leland B. Yeager, Auburn University and the University of Virginia
