Summarize the last three sections of Rothbard: “Deposit Insurance”, “How the Fed rules and
inflates”, and “What can be done?” Does it make sense to return to the gold standard?
The panic of 1819 was America's
first great economic crisis. And this is Murray Rothbard's
masterful account, the first full scholarly book on the topic and
still the most definitive. It was his dissertation, published in
1962 but nearly impossible to get until this new edition. The
American Economic Review was wild for this book when it
appeared: "Rothbard's work represents the only published,
book-length, academic treatise on the remedies that were proposed,
debated, and enacted in attempts to cope with the crisis of 1819,"
the reviewer wrote. "As such, the book should certainly find a
place on the shelf of the study of U.S. business cycles and of the
economic historian who is interested in the early economic
development of the United States."
And specialists have treasured the book for years. It is incredible
to realize that some American historians think of M.N. Rothbard as
the author of this book and nothing else! The panic of 1819 grew
largely out of the changes wrought by the War of 1812, and by the
postwar boom that followed. The war also brought a rash of paper
money, as the government borrowed heavily to finance the conflict.
This would inevitably lead to suspension of specie payments in some
parts of the country in 1814.
Freed from the shackles of hard money, the suspension of specie led
to a boom. When peace came, the so did the bust.
But in the end, there was no widespread confusion on what caused
the downturn. Instead, it was widely known that false prosperity is
a very dangerous thing. It always turns to bust. But unlike today,
the government didn't intervene. And precisely because there was no
intervention, the panic ended quickly and peacefully. What we have
here, then, is not only a dazzling historical account — the
research here is deep and thorough, and the prose a model of
exposition; it also points the way to how all economic downturns
can and should be handled. For that reason, the Panic of
1819 offers important lessons for us today.
