Clipped Coins, Abused Words, and Civil Government

Exploring John Locke's philosophy, this book delves into his political theory and involvement in 17th and 18th-century British monetary debates. Through extensive archival research, George Caffentzis presents a comprehensive analysis of Locke's economic ideas, linking them to the global expansion of capitalism and the role of money as a universal medium. The updated edition features a new introduction by Paul Rekret, a foreword by Harry Cleaver, and additional material by Caffentzis, contributing to ongoing discussions about capitalism, colonialism, and philosophy.
