The State Theory of Money
"In 1895 I put forward my views for the first time, laying down that the money of a State is not what is of compulsory general acceptance, but what is accepted at the public pay offices..." -Georg Friedrich Knapp, Preface The State Theory of Money (1905) The State Theory of Money (1924), a pioneering economic work by German economist Georg Friedrich Knapp, argues that money is created by the state and does not have any intrinsic value, directly contrast to the theory of the Gold Standard. Knapp's so-called chartalist school of monetary theory paved the way for the Modern Monetary Theory, which states that governments can print as much money as they need without having to borrow or tax to finance spending. The State Theory of Money, first published in 1905 in Germany, and abridged and translated into English in 1924, is essential reading for students of monetary theories and economic history.

The Money Plot
Half fable, half manifesto, this brilliant new take on the ancient concept of cash lays bare its unparalleled capacity to empower and enthrall us. Frederick Kaufman tackles the complex history of money, beginning with the earliest myths and wrapping up with Wall Street’s byzantine present-day doings. Along the way, he exposes a set of allegorical plots, stock characters, and stereotypical metaphors that have long been linked with money and commercial culture, from Melanesian trading rituals to the dogma of Medieval churchmen faced with global commerce, the rationales of Mercantilism and colonial expansion, and the U.S. dollar’s 1971 unpinning from gold. The Money Plot offers a tool to se...
Making the European Monetary Union
Europe’s financial crisis cannot be blamed on the Euro, Harold James contends in this probing exploration of the whys, whens, whos, and what-ifs of European monetary union. The current crisis goes deeper, to a series of problems that were debated but not resolved at the time of the Euro’s invention. Since the 1960s, Europeans had been looking for a way to address two conundrums simultaneously: the dollar’s privileged position in the international monetary system, and Germany’s persistent current account surpluses in Europe.
