Murray N. Rothbard on Exchange Rates - Dictionary of Arguments
Rothbard III 820 Exchange rates/Rothbard: Export/import: Economists have often described interlocal trade in terms of "gold export points" and "gold import points." >Geographical factors/Rothbard. RothbardVs: The use of such expressions assumes, however, that even though two localities both use gold money, it makes sense to talk of an "exchange rate" of the money of one locality for that of another. This exchange rate is set between the margins fixed by the cost of transporting money - the "gold import" and "gold export" points. Rothbard III 821 Free market: This does not hold true on the free market, however. On such a market, all coins and bullion are expressed in terms of weight of gold, and it makes no sense whatever to speak of an "exchange rate" of the money of one place for the same money in another. How can there be an "exchange rate" of an ounce of gold for an ounce of gold? >Free market/Rothbard._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
