What Has Government Done to Our Money? was originally a small paperback designed for mass distribution by American economist Murray N. Rothbard. The text relays the essentials of Austrian theory while also making theoretical advances. Rothbard was the first to prove that the government, and only the government, can destroy money on a mass scale, and in the text shows exactly how this occurs.
