Money: Myths, Truths and Alternatives: 21st Century Standpoints

Autor Mary Mellor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iul 2019
It’s been called the root of all evil, and many other things besides, but what exactly does money mean? Where does it come from, and how does it work? In this book, Mary Mellor seeks to answer these questions, examining the social, political, and commercial history of money. Mellor debunks a number of received notions as little more than longstanding myths, like the idea that money is in short supply and needs to always come from somewhere. She also moves beyond merely setting straight the record on money: she lays out a radical framework for restructuring our current financial systems. Arguing that money’s immense social value means that its creation and circulation should be a matter of democratic choice, Mellor advocates for a system that is driven more heavily by concerns for the environment and gender equality, musing that perhaps one day, money could become the root of all good.

"Mary Mellor is one of our pre-eminent monetary myth-busters. Once again she has challenged us to break the lazy cliches about money and to truly reimagine our monetary horizons."
 

“Mary Mellor uses easy to follow stories and metaphors to dispel the myths and clarify the mysteries of money and banking. Along the way she succeeds in making it not only understandable but actually interesting. Fine work!”

"An eminently readable and timely book which punctures the myths around money. . . . Convincingly argues for alternative social, political and commercial stories of money that open up its radical potential."
 

“An exciting vision of how money can be democratically transformed from a leading expert on money. . . . Essential reading for anyone who wants a better and fairer economic future, it will teach you how to think critically about money and the monetary system.“

 

Descriere

What does money mean? Where does it come from and how does it work?

In this highly topical book, Mary Mellor, an expert on money, examines money’s social, political and commercial histories to debunk longstanding myths such as money being in short supply and needing to come from somewhere.

Arguing that money’s immense social value means that its creation and circulation should be a matter of democratic choice, she sets out a new finance system, based on green and feminist concerns, to bring radical change for social good.
