In 1992, Barry released Golden Fetters: The Gold Standard and the Great Depression, 1919 - 1939, which presented the causes of the great depression through the lens of an economist. His statement of the "gold standard" suggests that countries who rejected the method quickly recovered, as opposed to those who didn't; a topic of discussion that he expands upon as a speaker. Barry has also released critically acclaimed papers, including the Shocking Aspects of European Monetary Unification, which compared the Single Currency Area of the United States and the EU.
