Money and Growth
Perry G Mehrling · 1999
68/100
👎 Skip It
Perry Mehrling's editorial rescue of Allyn Young's scattered essays does something genuinely useful for historians of economic thought—it makes a foundational but hard-to-access thinker readable in one place, with framing that shows why the ideas still matter. But this is strictly a graduate-level academic resource; outside that narrow lane there is very little here for a general reader.
