- Yes, an update and expansion of the MOOC (filmed Fall 2012). Students of the MOOC have been asking me for a written version ever since it first aired in fall 2013.@PMehrling is writing a new book on The Money View 😤😤😤
- I use deCecco's account of the sterling system in all my classes. And his work was very much inspiration for my own account of the dollar system, cambridge.org/us/universityp…1/3 I just finished reading Marcello de Cecco's fascinating 1971 book on the functioning (or mis-functioning) of the gold standard in the decades before WW1. I've wanted to read it for years, but was only recently lent a copy by PKU student Sammy Zucker.
- The whole point of inventories (i.e. stores) is to absorb temporary mismatch between demand and supply without moving the price.I’m more convinced every day that predictable pricing is foundational to economic fairness. How can you budget for anything if you don’t know how much it will cost?
- If you liked Money and Empire, you will like these books also:
- Why secular stagnation? It's aggregate demand, not supply, even in the long run. Why weak demand? Rising inequality, and household debt overhang.
