Money, History, and International Finance
Essays in Honor of Anna J. Schwartz
This volume provides a critical evaluation of Anna J. Schwartz’s work and probes various facets of the immense contribution of her scholarship—How well has it stood the test of time? What critiques have been leveled against it? How has monetary research developed over the years, and how has her influence been manifested? Bordo has collected five conference papers presented by leading monetary scholars, discussants’ comments, and closing remarks by Milton Friedman and Karl Brunner. Each of these insightful surveys extends Schwartz’s work and makes its own contribution to the fields of monetary history, theory, and policy. The volume also contains a foreword by Martin Feldstein and a selected bibliography of publications by Anna Schwartz.
