by Harry Elmer Barnes (Author)

""Money Changers Vs. The New Deal: A Candid Analysis Of The Inflation Controversy"" is a book written by Harry Elmer Barnes and published in 1934. The book provides a critical analysis of the debate surrounding inflation during the New Deal era in the United States. Barnes argues that the New Deal policies, particularly those related to monetary policy, were heavily influenced by the interests of the ""money changers"" - a term he uses to refer to bankers and financial elites. He contends that these policies were designed to benefit these groups at the expense of the general public. The book explores the various arguments for and against inflation, including the impact on prices, wages, and employment. Barnes argues that inflation was not the root cause of the economic problems facing the country at the time and that the New Deal policies were misguided. Overall, ""Money Changers Vs. The New Deal"" provides a critical perspective on the economic policies of the New Deal era and the role of financial elites in shaping them. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economic thought and policy in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
