Focusing on the period of Milton Friedman's collaboration with Anna J. Schwartz, this 1996 work examines the history of debates between Friedman and his critics over money's causal role in business cycles. Drawing extensively upon unpublished materials, Professor Hammond's treatment offers new insights on Milton Friedman's attempts to settle debates with his critics and his eventual recognition of the methodological impediments.
