Robert Roosa is a serious monetary technician who possesses undeniable skill within his specialty. As Under Secretary of the Treasury for Monetary Affairs from 1961 to 1965, he distinguished himself as an inventive and keen manipulator of the tools of monetary management. It is he for whom the Roosa Bonds are named, because he invented that particular form of repudiation of the dollar. Now back in private life, he brings out a detailed plan for “reform” which turns out to be as brilliant, subtle, and narrow as the author himself.
