There is a tension in Hayek's Denationalization of Money: he suggests private money issuers would most appeal to the public by promising stable consumer prices, which contradicts his lifelong argument that stabilizing the consumer price index caused the 1920s bubble and 1929 crash—a tension White finds hard to resolve, though Hayek footnotes that he no longer regards it as a problem of much practical relevance.
