FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description One of the twentieth centurys most prescient critics of the role of the U.S. dollar in the global economy, Jacques Rueff (1896-1978) was also one of Europes foremost free-market thinkers, a proponent of the gold standard, and a major expert on the perils of inflation. In Rueffs 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 Europes 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. Rueffs 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. Author Biography Christopher S. Chivvis is a political scientist with the RAND Corporation and teaches International History at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. Review A deeply thoughtful, nuanced, and erudite analysis of one of the 20th centurys most profound and principled monetary thinkers. With the renewed global angst over the sustainability of the dollar-based international monetary system, Chivviss masterful study of Jacques Rueff could not be more timely. -- Benn Steil, Senior Fellow and Director of International Economics, Council on Foreign Relations, and co-author of Money, Markets, and SovereigntyMr. Chivvis has written an interesting and clear account of the major elements in the thought of the French economist and civil servant Jacques Rueff. -- Harold James, Princeton UniversityAn interesting, highly readable account of the career of one of Europes most important economists. Chivvis lifts the smokescreen of simplicity which has served to obscure the economists true contribution to twentieth century economic thought and practice. This is the clearest history (in my view) of twentieth century French monetary policy. Nothing else compares. -- Timothy Smith, Queens University The Daily Herald Review Quote "Mr. Chivvis has written an interesting and clear account of the major elements in the thought of the French economist and civil servant Jacques Rueff."-Harold James, Princeton University Promotional "Headline" First major English work on the proponent of the gold standard provides a view of the global economy that resonates with current thought Details ISBN0875804179 Year 2010 ISBN-10 0875804179 ISBN-13 9780875804170 Format Hardcover Short Title MONETARY CONSERVATIVE Language English Media Book Author Christopher S.
