Alternative currency bibliography
Posted here Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at 10:44:01 AM    

Thinking about alternative currencies, the following biblio is helpful

Hayek, F. A.  1976. Denationalisation of Money -- The Argument Refined: An Analysis of the Theory and Practice of Concurrent Currencies .  London: Institute of Economic Affairs.

Friedrich A.Hayek: Denationalization of Money--The Argument Refined: An Analysis of the Theory and Practice of Concurrent Currencies, 2nd ed., Hobart Special Paper 70, London: Institute of Economic Affairs, 1978

Hayek, F. A.  1990. Denationalisation of Money -- The Argument Refined: An Analysis of the Theory and Practice of Concurrent Currencies.  Third Edition.  London: Institute of Economic Affairs.

I would be glad to see the final report of the senior project (and may be - before that - the collected list of publications you get just now).

I wrote once a little about the topic but did not know most of above references (other than Hayek) and elaborated soemwhat on alternate money at the time of hyperinflation in the 1920ies+ in Germany and Austrai. However, this is in German and highly inadequate.
