John Smithin

Money, Enterprise and Income Distribution

Towards a macroeconomic theory of capitalism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Mainstream neoclassical economics tells us that money is essentially a commodity, has no other social meanings or consequences, and (therefore) exists only as a medium of exchange to lubricate/facilitate barter. This book takes the view that money is definitively a social relation between private persons or legal persons. As such, it is one of the main building blocks of the complex structure of social relations of capitalism itself.
