This work begins with a mini-treatment of money and banking theory,  and then plunges right in with the real history of the Federal Reserve  System. Rothbard covers the struggle between competing elites and how they  converged with the Fed.\u003cp\u003e    Rothbard calls for the abolition of the central bank and a restoration of  the gold standard. His popular treatment incorporates the best and most  up-to-date scholarship on the Fed's origins and effects.           \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMurray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) distinguished himself  as an economist,  writing a major treatise on theory, several important economic histories,  and a highly praised history of economic thought. But he was also known as  the pioneer thinker of libertarianism, the political philosophy that roots  freedom in private property ownership and decries the state as inherently  contrary to the ethics of a free society. Writing from this perspective, he  gained a reputation as the most provocative and influential contributor to  the anarchist tradition in our century.
