David Frum
Basic Books, 1994, x + 230 pgs
David Frum has identified a central problem affecting much of the American Right. But because he himself supports the Leviathan State to a greater extent than some of those he so readily condemns, he can offer nothing in the way of a solution. For the one group that does offer a way out, Frum has nothing but contempt and calumny.

MONEY AND NATION STATE
Kevin Dowd and Richard H. Timberlake, Jr., Editors
Transaction Publishers, 1998, viii + 453 pgs.
When I received this book, I turned first to the contribution of Murray N. Rothbard, “The Gold Exchange Standard in the Interwar Years” (pp. 105-65). It is a characteristically brilliant piece, showing in detail how Benjamin Strong and Montagu Norman used the gold exchange standard to further their schemes of monetary manipulation.
