Short Nonfiction Review: What Has Government Done to Our Money?
If you want to know why the money in your bank account is worth a fraction of what it was decades (or a century) ago, look no further than Murray N. Rothbard’s book What Has Government Done to Our Money. If you’re just breaking into Austrian Economics or if you’re like me and are rather layman in the subject, it’s a must-read.
One reason is that it’s not overly complicated. Not that I didn’t have some difficulty absorbing some of the work; that would be a lie. But again, I haven’t dedicated most of my adult life to economics since I’m too obsessed with writing and reading fiction.

That said, as my own fiction and much of the fiction I review on this site contains libertarian concepts, I want to explore some sources that those who wrote those fiction books may have, or have, explored.
Remember when I reviewed The Flight of the Barbarous Relic by George Ford Smith? Yeah, there’s a reason I’m following up that review with Rothbard’s classic, as it was one of the recommended reads. So, why wouldn’t I share it?
