On the Manipulation of Money and Credit. An elaboration of Mises' theories of money, inflation, credit expansion, index numbers, the balance of payments doctrine, and the trade cycle. This includes most of Mises's articles on the business cycle and money and credit manipulation written in the 1920s and 1930s. Mises sets forward the Austrian theory of the business cycle and criticizes all types of govemment intervention and interference with the supply of money: only a complete gold standard is acceptable. In contrast to the position of F. A. Hayek, over-expansion of bank credit comes about only through government policy: the normal operation of the banks cannot generate a cycle.

The Political Economy of International Reform and Reconstruction edited with an introduction by Mises Institute adjunct scholar and Hillsdale College Professor Richard Ebeling, and published by Indianapolis: Liberty Fund.

Many of the unpublished essays, held in the archives at Grove City College, have now been collected as Volume 3, the first of a new 4 Volume series. As a work of economic history, and an example of how Mises dealt with pressing political issues as well as high theory, this volume is highly recommended.
