3. Ludwig von Mises, Theory of Money and Credit (1912); for a more recent edition, see the 2009 edition (Orlando: Signalman Publishers). Mises explained monetary and banking theory by applying the marginal utility principle to the value of money and then proposing a new theory of industrial fluctuations. Hayek used this as a foundation to build a new theory of the business cycle, which is what later became known as the “Austrian Business Cycle Theory.” See Friedrich Hayek, Prices and Production (London: G. Routledge, 1931) and Friedrich Hayek, The Pure Theory of Capital (London: Macmillan, 1941).

Rothbard’s The Case Against the Fed, supra note 1; and G. Edward Griffin’s The Creature from Jekyll Island (Appleton, WI: American Opinion,1994).
