Ludwig von Mises said there can never be too much of a good theory. Salerno proves it in this sweeping and nearly comprehensive audiobook on applied Austrian monetary theory. He uses the Mises/Rothbard theory of money to reinterpret historical episodes, reevaluate the history of thought, closely examine the Federal Reserve policy, seek out cause and effect in business cycles, provide a new understanding of war and social unrest, and clarify the relationship between the state and the central bank.

In The Fix Was On, Murray Rothbard discusses why the United States replaced specie with fiat currency; the early days of American banking after the Revolutionary War; early central banks and the ultimate creation of the Federal Reserve; and how the Federal Reserve causes the boom/bust business cycle.
