Money Mischief: Episodes in Monetary History is a nonfiction economics book by Nobel laureate Milton Friedman. Written for readers interested in monetary theory, economic history, and public policy, it examines how money is created, why it holds value, and what happens when societies misunderstand monetary systems. Rather than presenting a technical textbook, Friedman uses historical episodes to show how monetary errors can shape inflation, political outcomes, and everyday economic life. The book reflects his broader monetarist perspective, especially the idea that money is not a neutral background force but a central factor in business cycles, prices, and policy mistakes. It moves from unusual forms of money, such as the stone currency of Yap, to more familiar systems involving gold, silver, paper currency, and modern central banking. The result is a clear, historically grounded argument that monetary institutions matter deeply and that confusion about them can produce lasting consequences.
