BRESCIANI TURRONI (Costantino).
The Economics of Inflation. A Study of Currency Depreciation in Post-War Germany. With a Foreword by Lionel Robbins.
The rare first English translation of ‘Bresciani’s masterpiece, and the work for which he is best known’, a classic study of hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic, originally published in Italian in 1931 and substantially revised for the present English translation. ‘The Italian title of the book - Le vicende del marco tedesco, or the vicissitudes of the German mark - conveys the substance of the book better than the title of the English translation, which claims a level of abstraction far higher than that embodied in the work, and, correspondingly, a much wider applicability of the content’ (New Palgrave).
‘The last great exponent of old-time liberalism in Italian economics, Bresciani was an Italian counterpart of such distinguished libertarians as Robbins, Hayek or Friedman’ (New Palgrave).
