New York: Adelphi Company, 1936 Stock Code: 97128
Second edition, first published the previous year, here extensively revised following the passing of the Omnibus Banking Act of 1935. 100 Money was Fisher's proposal to eliminate economic fluctuations by requiring that demand deposits be backed by a corresponding amount of cash, an idea which had its roots in the work of Walras, Mises, and the Chicago School. An inscribed presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the front free endpaper: "To/ Professor Harold Hosking/ with the compliments/ and high esteem of/ Irving Fisher/ May, 1936". The recipient may be Harold Hosking Tayler, author of Life Assurance (1933).
