Mystery of Banking book by Murray N. Rothbard  "The Mystery of Banking" [1983] by Murray N. Rothbard,
2008 Preface by Douglas E. French, 2008 Foreword by Joseph T. Salerno

The first eleven chapters of the book unravels how the central bank operates to create money through the fractional-reserve banking system and how this leads to inflation of the money supply and a rise in overall prices in the economy; subsequent five chapters cover the historical mystery of how an inherently inflationary institution like central banking, which is destructive of the value of money and, in the extreme case of hyperinflation, of money itself, came into being and was accepted as essential to the operation of the market economy
