Money

Eine Geschichte der Menschheit aus Perspektive des Geldes

Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics

This book explores the development of the ecological monetary paradigm in which money is created for the restoration and improvement of the Earth's ecology in a way that simultaneously addresses environmental and human well-being issues. Ecological money is created via the facilities of monetization and proliferated by the pricing of products.The book, however, postulates that the development of an ecological monetary paradigm is hampered by a trilemma between inflation, the expenditure needed to mitigate ecological and climate crises, and the profit-making behaviour of enterprises. Namely, undertaking such massive expenditure would increase cost-push inflation, whilst, simultaneously, the refusal of enterprises to compromise on their profit-making would lead to profit-led inflation remaining intact if not strengthened. The book identifies the causes of the trilemma and calls for the emergence of new enterprises that would help mitigate the trilemma. The categories of such enterprises are derived, and the examples of enterprises that would satisfy these criteria are illustrated.This book will interest any reader working in ecological, environmental, and sustainable development topics. It will also appeal to those working on ecological macroeconomics, monetary theory and policy, valuation of firms, and the history of economic thought.

The Princeton Economic History of the Western World

A study of the changes in wealth and its distribution in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Paris that maps the interplay among wealth, inequality, and welfare Successful economies sustain capital accumulation across generations, and capital accumulation leads to large increases in private wealth. In this book, Gilles Postel-Vinay and Jean-Laurent Rosenthal map the fluctuations in wealth and its distribution in Paris between 1807 and 1977. Drawing on a unique dataset of the bequests of almost 800,000 Parisians, they show that real wealth per decedent varied immensely during this period while inequality began high and declined only slowly. Parisians’ portfolios document startling changes in the geography and types of wealth over time. Postel-Vinay and Rosenthal’s account reveals the impact of economic factors (large shocks, technological changes, differential returns to wealth), political factors (changes in taxation), and demographic and social factors (age and gender) on wealth and inequality. Before World War I, private wealth was highly predictive of other indicators of welfare, including different forms of human capital, age at death, and access to local public goods. After World War I, public intervention reduced—but did not eliminate—the strong connection between wealth inequality and other forms of inequality. Over the two centuries covered, Paris and its wealth were on the vanguard of economic and social change that affected the rest of the country a generation later.

Two Hundred Years of Wealth and Inequality in Paris

A Capital’s Capital

Faketoshi

In January 2015, Craig Wright was facing financial ruin, with the Australian Taxation Office having uncovered a potentially criminal operation involving his raft of companies. Six months later, he was sitting pretty, having signed a bailout deal that settled his tax affairs and afforded him a dream job in England. Somehow, Wright had turned it around.

In truth, Wright had accepted a ticking time bomb. The deal that saved him was predicated on one very important premise: that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. Wright may have fooled his backers, but fooling the public would be a far harder task... especially as it was nothing but a high-stakes con.

In Volume II of Faketoshi: Fraud, Lies and the Battle for Bitcoin's Soul, Mark Hunter and Arthur van Pelt continue their definitive account of Craig Wright's fraudulent exploits, covering his announcement on the world stage as Satoshi Nakamoto, the disastrous public proof session that followed and the $600 billion court case that revealed for the first time the true extent of Wright's mammoth swindle.

Fraud, Lies and the Battle for Bitcoin's Soul (Volume 2)

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER The world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

“If you read just one book about economics, make it Andrew Leigh's clear, insightful, and remarkable (and short) work.” —Claudia Goldin, recipient of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics and Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard UniversityA sweeping, engrossing history of how economic forces have shaped the world—all in under 200 pagesOne of The Economist's Best Books of the YearIn How Economics Explains the World, Harvard-trained economist Andrew Leigh presents a new way to understand the human story. From the dawn of agriculture to AI, here is story of how ingenuity, greed, and desire for betterment have, to an astonishing degree, determined our past, present, and future.&nbsp;This small book indeed tells a big story. It is the story of capitalism – of how our market system developed. It is the story of the discipline of economics, and some of the key figures who formed it. And it is the story of how economic forces have shaped world history. Why didn’t Africa colonize Europe instead of the other way around? What happened when countries erected trade and immigration barriers in the 1930s? Why did the Allies win World War II? Why did inequality in many advanced countries fall during the 1950s and 1960s? How did property rights drive China’s growth surge in the 1980s? How does climate change threaten our future prosperity? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in How Economics Explains the World.“Can a short book survey the full history of something so vast and remain readable? To find out, read How Economics Explains the World, by Andrew Leigh. In simple, clear language—and less than 200 pages—it does exactly what its title promises. … Leigh canters through the history of human progress, pausing briefly to explain the economic forces and ideas that drove it forward. … Along the way, readers meet the big economic thinkers who sought to explain these forces. Both finance aficionados and mere novices will read, savour and return to this book.” –The Economist, “The Best New Books to Read about Finance”

A critical history of the US dollar's dominance in the world economy--and what has kept China's currency from overtaking it. The dollar is the primary currency of the world economy. With China now rivaling the United States on the world stage, a critical question hangs in the balance: will the Chinese renminbi challenge the status of the dollar and, in doing so, deprive America of its "exorbitant privilege"? In GreenbackEmpire, Ho-fung Hung offers a powerful account of why, even as American shares of global production, ownership, and trade continue to decline, its currency has retained the support of governments and investors around the world. For six decades, Hung shows, the dominance of the dollar has rested on the security umbrella that the US offers to the world's wealthiest countries--including oil producers. To these countries, support for the value of the dollar is tantamount to maintaining US protection. While China has become a serious geopolitical and economic rival to the US, the Chinese state's airtight control of its financial system has delayed the free trading of the renminbi, limiting the currency's internationalization. In short, the same strategy that engineered growth in China's economy is restraining its currency's rise in opposition to the dollar. Hung's Greenback Empire is an essential history of the dollar's prowess, indispensable for understanding the future of the global monetary system.

Monetary policy plays a powerful role in shaping economic activity, influencing everything from inflation and interest rates to employment, consumer spending, business investment, and financial market stability.

Yet for many people, monetary policy remains one of the most misunderstood areas of economics. Discussions about central banks, money supply, inflation, and interest rates are often filled with technical terminology that can make it difficult to understand how monetary policy actually affects businesses, households, investors, and the broader economy.

The Macro and Microeconomics of Monetary Policy Making was created to help bridge that gap.

This educational guide provides a practical introduction to the economic principles that influence monetary policy decisions. By examining both macroeconomic and microeconomic perspectives, readers will gain a better understanding of how central banks influence economic activity, how monetary policy affects markets and individual decision-makers, and how policymakers respond to changing economic conditions.

Whether you are a student, educator, investor, business professional, policymaker, or curious learner, this guide provides accessible explanations that connect economic theory to real-world monetary policy decisions.

Inside, you'll learn about:
¿ The role of central banks in modern economies
¿ Money supply and the banking system
¿ Interest rates and economic activity
¿ Inflation and price stability
¿ Monetary policy tools and decision-making
¿ Financial markets and monetary transmission
¿ Economic growth, employment, and monetary policy
¿ Modern challenges facing central bankers

Unlike many academic textbooks, this guide focuses on practical understanding rather than technical complexity. The goal is to help readers understand how monetary policy works, why it matters, and how monetary decisions influence businesses, consumers, financial markets, and economic performance.

Whether you're studying economics, finance, banking, public policy, business, or simply seeking a stronger understanding of the modern financial system, this guide provides a practical foundation for understanding the economics of monetary policy making.

From the author of&nbsp;A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at the world of cryptocurrencies, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a multi-trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are alienated by an economic system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Enter&nbsp;Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she exposes the dangerous consequences of crypto's rise and offers alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually be.
