[![Alt-M: Ideas for an alternative monetary future](/build/cato_2020/images/alt-m.svg)](/alt-m) August 30, 2011 1:04PM # Advertisements for Myself By [George Selgin](https://www.cato.org/people/george-selgin) --- SHARE For a couple of my books, actually, which have recently become available in new editions. Good old [Liberty Fund](http://www.libertyfund.org/) has made a Kindle version of [The Theory of Free Banking](http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=2307), which you can download for free from its Online Library of Liberty. And my pals at the [Independent Institute](http://www.independent.org/) have just released the paperback version of [Good Money](http://www.independent.org/store/book_detail.asp?bookID=75), which they sell for just $22.10. That might not seem terribly cheap for a paperback, but bear in mind that this one reproduces the hardback’s generous color-plate insert. Besides, it’s a damn good book. Personally I think the relative prices are about right. Not that I don’t like *The Theory of Free Banking.*: it’s just that I’ve come to think that an ounce of convincing history is worth at least a pound of theory. And what writer doesn’t imagine that he’s learned a thing or two about writing in the space of two decades? But you needn’t take my word for it. Just get them both, and decide for yourself! ##### Related Tags [Monetary Policy](https://www.cato.org/monetary-policy), [Alt-M](https://www.cato.org/alt-m), [Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives](https://www.cato.org/center-monetary-financial-alternatives) [![Creative Commons License](/build/cato_2020/images/creative-commons.svg)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) This work is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/).
