Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical and philosophical underpinnings of money, exploring its evolution from a system of barter to the complex mechanisms we grapple with today. The author meticulously examines how money has transitioned from a public measure controlled by the state to a system heavily influenced by private interests, particularly goldsmiths and money-lenders. The narrative unfolds across centuries, drawing upon legal codes, historical events, and economic theories to illustrate how the manipulation of monetary systems has often led to societal imbalances and economic hardship. The author argues for a return to a system where money serves as a stable and equitable measure of value, controlled by the state and not subject to the whims of private entities seeking personal gain. By dissecting the concept of value, price, and the role of gold and silver in monetary systems, the book challenges conventional economic thought and proposes a framework for understanding money's true purpose and potential. This insightful exploration into the history and mechanics of money offers a fresh perspective on a subject that affects us all, urging us to reconsider the very foundations of our economic structures and strive for a more just and sustainable future.
