The Creators of Inside Money

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the role of commercial banks, the book delves into their influence on the creation of inside money and their pivotal involvement in the 2007-8 monetary crisis and the subsequent Great Recession. It critiques the traditional neo-classical analysis, which views money through a barter lens, arguing instead that money has evolved into a fiat medium of exchange shaped by legal frameworks. This perspective challenges the notion that monetary authorities solely control money, presenting it as a complex construct deeply intertwined with economic realities.
