Editorial Reviews
Review
‘John Munro is the ultimate authority for economists worried about the debasement puzzle, or how to compare prices from Roman times to the present or across the world from India to Mexico. Here he presents authorities who cover a wide range of early solutions to the “big problem of small change.” ‘ Larry Neal, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ‘This book can be thoroughly recommended to anybody interested in the subject.’ — Martin Allen EH.net
