Banking on a Promise

The illusive story of money, debt and the banks that create it

by Frank Brun ...

What if the money in your bank account isn't created by government, but by commercial banks? Money is no longer a public utility - it's a private promise. In 'Banking on a Promise', Frank Michael Brun traces the hidden mechanics of modern finance: how private banks generate money "out of nothing" through accounting, and why this system sits at the heart of capitalism's recurring crises.

Why Minsky Matters

An Introduction to the Work of a Maverick Economist

by Larry Randall Wray ...

Perhaps no economist was more vindicated by the global financial crisis than Hyman P. Minsky (1919–96). Although a handful of economists raised alarms as early as 2000, Minsky's warnings began a half-century earlier, with writings that set out a compelling theory of financial instability. Yet even today he remains largely outside mainstream economics; few people have a good grasp of his writings, ... Read more

How the Economy Works

Confidence, Crashes and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

by Roger E. A. Farmer ...

"Of all the economic bubbles that have been pricked," the editors of The Economist recently observed, "few have burst more spectacularly than the reputation of economics itself." Indeed, the financial crisis that crested in 2008 destroyed the credibility of the economic thinking that had guided policymakers for a generation. But what will take its place? In How the Economy Works, one of our ... Read more

Bernanke's Test

Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, and the Drama of the Central Banker

by Johan Van Overtveldt ...

The consensus on Alan Greenspan's performance as Fed chair used to be extremely positive, but more and more it's been called into question. Now, 2008 has seen Ben Bernanke in the eye of a storm that was created largely during Greenspan's tenure. His management of the bubble of all bubbles will be a decisive factor in whether this crisis will be limited in its impact on the real economy or whether ... Read more

How to Prevent Financial Crises

by Roger E.A. Farmer ...

In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, economists around the world have advanced theories to explain the persistence of high unemployment and low growth rates. According to Roger E. A. Farmer, these theories can be divided into two leading schools of thought: the ideas of pre-Keynesian scholars who blame the recession on bad economic policy, and the suggestions of "New Keynesian" scholars ...
