A Monetary History of the United States, written with Anna Schwartz, established that the Federal Reserve's contraction of the money supply turned the 1929 downturn into the Depression, and it set the terms of monetary policy argument ever since. Capitalism and Freedom and Free to Choose make the political case for markets and supply the standard arguments on floating rates, schooling and regulation.
