Gertrude Coogan is not a household name. She never was. But, because of recent political and economic events, her ideas are getting a hearing in conservative circles.

Gary North (1942–2022) is the author of Mises on Money; Honest Money: The Biblical Blueprint for Money and Banking; and Gertrude Coogan’s Bluff: Greenback Populism as Conservative Economics. He is also the author of a free 31-volume series, An Economic Commentary on the Bible.
