The depression of the '80s, the '30s, fiat money, runs on the bank and freezing assets...what does it all have to do with Americans? Written in the same letter format as Richard Maybury's other 'Uncle Eric' books, students will gain a remarkably easy to understand introduction to the causes and effects of inflation and deflation. Using the real-life examples of the assignat and mandat that lead to Napoleon's rise, the freezing of Iranian Assets that led to other Arab investors 'dumping the dollar' and other historical events, Maybury creates a recent economic history of America. 110 pages, softcover.
