Wealth Trade Prices and Money

Greenfield's storyteller's book of economic theory is absolutely wonderful a real coup. It teaches key lessons of economic theory and does so in an extremely readable pleasurable manner. And it achieves all this without sacrificing content depth or profundity. It's a miracle of good writing that Greenfield combines these characteristics in a single volume. Novices and professional economists alike can read his book with profit. Indeed when I read the chapters on monetary theory I learned things that I hadn't seen before. And all because of the way Greenfield tells the tale.</p><p>--<b>Thomas M. Humphrey</b> editor Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond <i>Economic Quarterly</i></p><p>Greenfield's English is flawless.Even on the microeconomics side Greenfield puts the emphasis where it belongs on the system as a whole.... He gives an exemplary treatment of both the 1929-1941 depression and the WWII-era inflation as well as a very lucid discussion of a monetary system that would have worked better....</p><p>--<b>Leland B.

Greenfield is an excellent expository writer.</p> <p>--<b>Hugh Rockoff</b> Rutgers University</p>
