Timberlake provides a tour de force on the history and unconstitutionality of the US government's meddling in the US monetary system. Constitutional Money is the definitive reference in its field, a true classic.' Kevin Dowd, University of Durham 'The leading historian of US monetary institutions, Richard H. Timberlake further enriches our knowledge of the evolution (or devolution) of the dollar with his latest work. Constitutional Money shows how Supreme Court decisions paved the way for paper to supersede gold and silver, and for the federal government to supplant decentralized market-based monetary arrangements. Those who do not learn from this history will be unarmed in the coming battle of ideas over how we might constrain government's role in the monetary system.' Lawrence H. White, George Mason University 'Professor Timberlake's Constitutional Money embodies abundant research by himself and other scholars. His review of Supreme Court decisions, both majority opinions and dissents, makes a fascinating story with elements of suspense. Timberlake writes smoothly, with flashes of brilliant phrasing and an attractive mix of short and moderately long sentences.' Leland B. Yeager, Auburn University and the University of Virginia Author InformationRichard H. Timberlake is an Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Georgia and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.
