We all know that Monero means money, but does that really entail? What is money, how does it arise, and most importantly, how do governments undermine it?
Murray is excellent at boiling down concepts to the bare essentials, so the book can be read without any previous education on the subject. It was indeed written and last amended in the 1970s, after the abolition of the gold standard for the US dollar. But despite this, the book still holds up today since Austrian economics approaches human action from a deductive, axiomatic standpoint rather than a purely empirical one.
