Could anyone here recommend a book to me?  I'm looking for a book that describes the history of American monetary policy.  Perhaps starting from the constitution to today.  I would like one that perhaps describes arguments from both sides, arguing for central banks and control of monetary policy, and also arguing for free market money, no central bank, etc...

Does that make sense?  I'm sure there is one out there.  I'm just very interested so I can argue against centrally planned money, etc...

Thank you.

Okay.

Now, the other recommendation:

Are there books that talk about the history of recessions/depressions in American history?  In the Austrian Perspective?

If you're going to distribute it, you have to credit the author or something. If it's for personal use, there are no restrictions that I know of.

These would only be for personal use.  I find it difficult to sit at the computer and read large books.  But... it might be just as easy to purchase the books than to print.
