Moral Economies of Money: Politics and the Monetary Constitution of Society Feinig Jakob
For much of American history, large numbers of people claimed that money was a public good and asserted the right to shape money creation practices. He also reveals how monetary and political history unfolds in the tension between moral economies of money and monetary silencing. If popular knowledge about money creation was once widely shared, how and why did it disappear?In this astute new work, Jakob Feinig shows how the relation between money users and money-issuing governments changed from British colonial North America to today's United States, discussing how popular movements reshaped money-creating institutions, and how their opponents attempted to silence them.
At the same time, Offering an introduction to money creation practices since the colonial era, the book enables readers to understand why most people are disconnected from knowledge about money creation today.
