"The main thesis propounded by Professor Mints in this thoughtful and vigorously argued book can be summarised in two sentences. (1) The forces making for instability in a modern industrial society are not so powerful that they could not be held in check by a policy which is purely monetary in nature. (2) To be effective, such a policy must be embodied in a definite rule of action, whose enforcement is not subject to the discretion of any authority." -- From a review by D. H. Robertson in the American Economic Review Volume 41, Issue Number 3.
