Easy Money: American Puritans and the Invention of Modern Currency
The University of Chicago Press, 2023
"Full of insights about the 21st century brought from carefully interpreting 17th century events, Easy Money is a fascinating mixture of American political, economic, and intellectual history that is sharply focused on how paper money was invented and implemented."
- Thomas Sargent, Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences (2011)
