Description
This is the second of three sessions on Stefan Eich's 2022 book The Currency of Politics: The Political Theory of Money from Aristotle to Keynes.
https://www.amazon.com/Currency-Politics-Political-Theory-Aristotle/dp/0691191077/
From the Description:
Stefan Eich examines six crucial episodes of monetary crisis, recovering the neglected political theories of money in the thought of such figures as Aristotle, John Locke, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes. He shows how these layers of crisis have come to define the way we look at money, and argues that informed public debate about money requires a better appreciation of the diverse political struggles over its meaning.
This week, we discuss the middle two chapters:
-
Chapter 3: The Monetary Social Contract: Johann Gottlieb Fichte and the Politics of Paper Money
-
Chapter 4: Money as Capital: Karl Marx and hte Limits of Monetary Politics
