This book helps not to understand what money is, but to feel it. As for author, if the public understood what price in periodic inflation and instability it pays for the convenience of having to deal with only one kind of money in ordinary transactions, and not occasionally to have to contemplate the advantage of using other money than the familiar kind, it would probably find it very excessive.

What is very interested for me, that’s this idea of HAYEK: «But once the validity of the established doctrine is doubted its foundation is rapidly seen to be fragile».
