New York: Greenwood Press, [1969]. xl, 623 pp. Original blue cloth hardcover, very light shelfwear, internally clean. $10. * "In the following pages the subject of Money has been treated as coming within the range of exact sciences; the conclusions being assumed to be in the nature of demonstrations. That they wholly contradict those laid down in the books, which have been accepted as fundamental truths for more than two thousand years, is due to the fact that a subject which could only be made to yield to rigid analysis has been treated after the manner of Aristotle and the Schools.": Preface [v].
