One of the twentieth century's most prescient critics of the role
of the U.S. dollar in the global economy, Jacques Rueff (1896-1978)
was also one of Europe's foremost free-market thinkers, a proponent
of the gold standard, and a major expert on the perils of
inflation. In Rueff's day, moderate conservatism was linked with
liberal political economy, and Rueff considered himself a "liberal"
in the sense that he believed in the free market. This first major
English-language work on Rueff explains his economic philosophy and
its significance for the present, placing it in the context of the
Great Depression and Europe's post-World War II recovery. Chivvis
presents a new angle on the history of free market ideas and their
alternatives, illuminating a conservative strain of free market
thought hitherto much ignored. Rueff's thought remains highly
relevant in the current economic climate, and The Monetary
Conservative will be of broad interest to policymakers and educated
lay readers. It is also essential reading for economists, political
economists, and historians of neoliberalism, France, and modern
European politics.
