“专业……货币史的直接和间接影响是难以言喻的。”——诺贝尔经济学奖得主、前美联储主席本·伯南克

诺贝尔经济学奖得主米尔顿·弗里德曼和他知名的同事安娜·雅各布森·施瓦茨合著的二十世纪重要的经济学著作之一——这部里程碑式的作品改写了大萧条的故事和对货币政策的理解

米尔顿·弗里德曼和安娜·雅各布森·施瓦茨合著的《美国货币史，1867-1960》是二十世纪具影响力的经济学著作之一。这是一项里程碑式的成就，它汇集了大量的历史数据和敏锐的分析，以论证货币政策——对货币供应量的稳定控制——在管理国家经济方面至关重要，尤其是在应对严重的经济波动方面。

本书最重要的一章“大萧条，1929-33 年”探讨了 20 世纪最重大的经济事件——大萧条。弗里德曼和施瓦茨认为，美联储本可以遏制大萧条的严重性，但未能发挥其管理货币体系和应对银行恐慌的作用。这本书通过强调货币供应在经济运作中的重要性，为货币主义学派敲响了警钟——这一思想后来影响了全球各国央行的行动。

“Magisterial. . . . The direct and indirect influence of the Monetary History would be difficult to overstate.”—Ben S. Bernanke, Nobel Prize–winning economist and former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve

From Nobel Prize–winning economist Milton Friedman and his celebrated colleague Anna Jacobson Schwartz, one of the most important economics books of the twentieth century—the landmark work that rewrote the story of the Great Depression and the understanding of monetary policy

Milton Friedman and Anna Jacobson Schwartz’s A Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960 is one of the most influential economics books of the twentieth century. A landmark achievement, it marshaled massive historical data and sharp analytics to argue that monetary policy—steady control of the money supply—matters profoundly in the management of the nation’s economy, especially in navigating serious economic fluctuations.

One of the book’s most important chapters, “The Great Contraction, 1929–33” addressed the central economic event of the twentieth century, the Great Depression. Friedman and Schwartz argued that the Federal Reserve could have stemmed the severity of the Depression, but failed to exercise its role of managing the monetary system and countering banking panics. The book served as a clarion call to the monetarist school of thought by emphasizing the importance of the money supply in the functioning of the economy—an idea that has come to shape the actions of central banks worldwide.
