The main cause of friction is, without doubt, that in the greatest crisis of our history we expected more from America than she was disposed to give. We felt to her a little as the Danes felt towards us in 1864, as the French felt towards us in 1870. When Belgium was invaded, when the Lusitania was sunk, the average Englishman did, without doubt, look expectantly towards America, and America did not respond to our expectations. Were those expectations reasonable and natural, or were they not?
The answer seems to me quite clear. They were entirely natural, but not quite reasonable. We could not help feeling them; but it was not at all likely that the average American voter should feel as we did. How should he? One need not speak of the six million Germans, and the innumerable other aliens in the United States; nor yet of the traditional anti-British feeling in the political "mob." Th. . . Read More

Now I'd probably rate this book a 2, but at the time, I enjoyed his style, or something...
Very elitist pov.
This book = Austrian School orientation;
p. 7 -Rothbard first to use interpretive appr. of Austrian monetary theory
p. 7 'praxeology' -" distinguishes Rothbard : In Rothbard's view, economic laws
The most comprehensive history of money and banking in the United States, that I have read. You will be hard pressed to find a more detailed analysis of the chicanery perpetrated on the American public by the "Banksters". The three central banks in America's history - the First Bank of the United St
The method Rothbard uses to make history come alive by sharing the motives and content of people's actions and the interconnectedness of various actors is very engaging.
The book is a collection of essays and some content repeats. On one hand this is good to for comprehension and context as a reader,
This book is definitely for a special kind of financial nerd. It's heavy with details that require an above average understanding of economics, inflation, banking and the relationship between international currencies to fully understand. Although there were a lot of specifics in the book that I didn
OH BOY! I wish I hadn't audiobooked this because parts of it would have warranted a closer reading. Namely the technical parts. But I'll definitely be revisiting this in the future. Highlights were when he talked about the Suffolk system and other early American banking organizations which worked VE
4 stars for a much-needed reference work that makes for a very dry read
The history presented is excellent. Very detailed. Rothbard's narrative provides explanation and commentary. Quite biased, just like every work of history. However I found this book quite difficult to wade through, and would only
Quite an intimidating book because of how extensive Rothbard had researched into the American history of money and banking. I knew the gist of it to enable me to debate, but this book is like a whole arsenal to debunk fiat money and central banking system. I've learned a lot but it was quite a diffi
Author's writing style is somewhat dry, and he uses far more names of historical characters than I cared to read or remember. Nevertheless, if I had to choose between reading "Confessions of Economic Hitman" and this book, I would choose this one. Author is a genuine economist, and his analysis and
