Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, Date: 1992. Scholarly text deals with the origin and functions of money and banking, emphasizing the role both play in the promotion of economic order. Developing the insights of Hayek and others of the Austrian tradition, Professor Horwitz argues that an appreciation of the spontaneous evolutionary processes that produce and maintain our monetary institutions should make us skeptical of attempts to plan or regulate the production of money. Horwitz presents a much broader perspective on financial institutions than can be found in traditional literature. 228 pgs. Publisher's stamp on front endpaper. Dustjacket in mylar.. First Edition.
