Recenzii
'A profound and highly original assessment of monetary policy and its inseparable connection to the rule of law, a key principal of economic freedom. This is a great read, carefully researched with telling quotes from top policy makers. It dissects tough monetary problems into easy-to-understand pieces – objectives, instruments, targets, and models. It candidly describes political pressures on the Fed with hard evidence from past to present. It creatively uses the great ideas of Hayek, Friedman, and Buchanan to confront the weaker scholarship of today. Most ominously, it warns that Fed is once again expanding its reach and thereby threatening the rule of law.' John Taylor, Mary and Robert Raymond Professor of Economics at Stanford University
'Like Hayek, Friedman, and Buchanan before them, Boettke, Salter, and Smith argue convincingly for fundamental changes in institutional design that, by enforcing rules over discretion in monetary policymaking, will help restore economic prosperity and the smooth functioning of our liberal democratic system. Anyone with a serious interest in using economics to improve the lives of all Americans should read this book.' Peter Ireland, Professor of Economics at Boston College
'This book … couldn't have arrived at a better time … important for all readers hoping to preserve good governance, promote shared prosperity, and limit expropriation by those who would exploit democratic institutions.' Lee Ohanian, University of California, Los Angeles
'This book is required reading for anyone concerned about monetary policymakers' management of the COVID 19 economic crisis and, especially, their lack of attention to the long-term impacts of their historically dramatic monetary policy changes.' William F. Ford, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta from 1980–83
'The authors provide a very much needed road map for returning to a disciplined monetary system for the remainder of the 21st century.' Jerry Jordan, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland from 1992 to 2003
'Many economists rightly advocate the rule of law, and allocation by markets rather than by expert central planners, as the key to economic development. Too few apply these principles to monetary institutions. Boettke, Smith, and Salter offer an insightful alternative. They diagnose the serious problems with the management of our money by central bankers who exercise discretion unconstrained by the rule of law. And they point the way toward much better arrangements. Highly recommended.' Lawrence H. White, Professor of Economics at George Mason University
'A well-researched, well-written, highly-readable gem. By weaving the technical, philosophical, institutional, historical, and empirical aspects of money tightly together with the thread of economic principles, they are able to present money in a new light - the light of the rule of law. With that, the authors masterfully show why virtually every idea in vogue today has been tried before and why each has failed time and time again.' Steve H. Hanke, Johns Hopkins UniversityJohns Hopkins University
'With inflation on the rise, political tensions on high, and congressional dysfunction in Washington, DC, what should we expect from our central bankers and monetary institutions? How can we get monetary policies that will benefit the economy? A new book tackles these questions with vivid historical examples and surprisingly uncommon 'commonsense' economics. Money and the Rule of Law by Peter Boettke, Alexander Salter and Daniel Smith discusses the difficulties of central banking, especially when decisions are made according to subjective discretion rather than stable, predictable rules.' Thomas L. Hogan, Discourse (Business & Economics)
