Critical Acclaim
‘Arnon has done an excellent job of trying to make sense of Tooke’s monetary writings.’
– D.P. O’Brien, The Economic Journal

‘This excellent book is a most distinguished contribution both to the history of economic thought and monetary theory.’
– The late Mark Blaug, formerly of the University of London and University of Buckingham, UK

‘Thomas Tooke is an important figure in the history of economic thought, and Arnon makes a convincing case that he is indeed more important than he is generally given credit for. . . a most welcome addition to the modern literature on the history of monetary economics.’
– David Laidler, University of Western Ontario, Canada
