Welcome to the 4th annual Money View Symposium.

Access the full program here.

Over the past decades, Perry Mehrling has built on the British and American central banking schools to developed what he calls the ‘money view’. While economics and finance have oddly abstracted from the concept of money in order to focus on other problems, this minority view focuses on money and credit for what it is: a set of interlocking promises to pay and how these promises get settled. The money view therefore is in a unique position to restart a conversation between economics and finance, as well as theory and practice.

The fourth annual Money View Symposium will be hosted from 2-4 February, 2024. The symposium showcases the work of scholars and practitioners that make use of the money view, ranging from economists to lawyers, politicians and social scientists at large.

You can view our discussions from previous years no the YSI Youtube Channel.
