書籍簡介

本書把貨幣同微觀經濟理論結合起來，論證了貨幣的邊際效用與其他商品的效用，以及貨幣的供給如何相互作用而最終決定貨幣價格。作者提出的“遞歸定理”解釋了貨幣的起源，把貨幣整合到市場經濟和個體行動分析的整體理論框架中，解決了“奧地利學派循環”的難題。同時研究了貨幣的性質和價值，以及決定貨幣政策的效應。本書是奧地利學派經濟思想的奠基之作。

"It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments." - from The Theory of Money and CreditOriginally published in 1912, Ludwig von Mises's The Theory of Money and Credit remains today one of economic theory's most influential and controversial treatises. Von Mises's examination into monetary theory changed forever the world of economic thought when he successfully integrated "macroeconomics" into "microeconomics" -previously deemed an impossible task -as well as offering explanations into the origin, value and future of money. One hundred years later, von Mises and the Austrian school of economic theory are still fiercely debated by world economists in their search for the solution to America's current financial crisis.

His theorems continue to inspire politicians and market experts who aim to raise up the common man and reduce the financial power of governments. In a preface added in 1952, von Mises urges the people of the world to see economic truth:"The great inflations of our age are not acts of God. They are man-made or, to say it bluntly, government-made.
