He edited (1892–1933) the Journal of Political Economy. Laughlin's chief interests were currency and monetary problems, and he served as adviser to various state and national governments. In 1894–95 he reorganized the monetary system of Santo Domingo. He later urged reform of the U.S. Federal Reserve Act. Important among his prolific writings is A New Exposition of Money, Credit, and Prices (1931). |
