The Gold Standard is a useful collection for those readers who want an evenhanded analysis of the monetary mechanism, in contrast to the casual dismissals that the gold standard currently receives even from professional economists. Put out by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER)—an organization that historically stood for sound money—these essays strike a balance between accessibility to the lay reader yet with enough sophistication to be of interest to the researcher.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
