Most economists believe that "money will not manage itself." In this book I challenge that belief. In doing so I also try to add a few reinforcing-rods to the so-called micro foundations of monetary theory. Like most contemporary investigators of free banking, I became interested in the subject after reading F. A. Hayek's Denationalisation of Money (1978). The argument of that monograph, that competition in the issue of money would result in greater monetary stability and order than central banks can achieve, contradicted both traditional interpretations of history (including especially American history) and conventional theory.
