The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar is the title of an essay by American economist Murray Rothbard. First published in 1962 in In Search of a Monetary Constitution the text makes the argument for the gold standard and shows how it can be restored in a practical, step-by-step plan.
Rothbard added a preface in 1991, in which he argues that the true gold standard is more viable than ever.
