What does money mean? Where does it come from and how does it
work?


In this highly topical book, Mary Mellor, an expert on money,
examines money's social, political and commercial histories to
debunk longstanding myths such as money being in short supply
and needing to come from somewhere.



Arguing that money's immense social value means that its creation
and circulation should be a matter of democratic choice, she sets
out a new finance system, based on green and feminist concerns, to
bring radical change for social good.

'An eminently readable and timely book which punctures the myths around money...convincingly argues for alternative social, political and commercial stories of money that open up its radical potential.' - Wendy Harcourt, International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam
