| Summary, etc. | Writing in the June 1965 issue of theEconomic Journal, Harry G. Johnson begins with a sentence seemingly calibrated to the scale of the book he set himself to review: “The long-awaited monetary history of the United States by Friedman and Schwartz is in every sense of the term a monumental scholarly achievement — monumental in its sheer bulk, monumental in the definitiveness of its treatment of innumerable issues, large and small … monumental, above all, in the theoretical and statistical effort and ingenuity that have been brought to bear on the solution of complex and subtle economic issues.”<br/><br/><br/>Friedman and Schwartz marshaled massive historical data and sharp analytics to support the claim 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. In their influential chapter 7, The Great Contraction — which Princeton published in 1965 as a separate paperback — they address the central economic event of the century, the Depression. According to Hugh Rockoff, writing in January 1965: “If Great Depressions could be prevented through timely actions by the monetary authority (or by a monetary rule), as Friedman and Schwartz had contended, then the case for market economies was measurably stronger.”<br/> |
