| Description: |
A history of money and modern banking systems that proposes that only a democratic restructuring of the economy can provide real sustainability. |
| Synopsis: |
As the recent financial crisis has revealed, the state is central to the stability of the money system, while the chaotic privately-owned banks reap the benefits without shouldering the risks. This book argues that money is a public resource that has been hijacked by capitalism. Mary Mellor explores the history of money and modern banking, showing how finance capital has captured bank-created money to enhance speculative `leveraged' profits as well as destroying collective approaches to economic life. Meanwhile, most individuals, and the public economy, have been mired in debt. To correct this obvious injustice, Mellor proposes a public and democratic future for money. Ways are put forward for structuring the money and banking system to provision societies on an equitable, ecologically sustainable `sufficiency' basis.This fascinating study of money should be read by all economics students looking for an original analysis of the economy during the current crisis. |
