Bank Robbery: Economists and the Banking System (part 2: Adam Smith, some early Americans, and Friedrich List)

10 October, 2015
Chapter 5 (Read the Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4) This chapter is about economics in transition. Economics means literally 'housekeeping' and most early writers on economics (roughly speaking before Adam Smith, 1723-90) treated it that way.

It is an old [...]


Bank Robbery: Banks and the Money Supply

27 February, 2015
Chapter 1 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' Sensible advice, especially when it comes to tinkering with the money supply: with laws about how money is made, how we get it, how we spend it. What would happen if the financial system was dismantled or thrown out of joint? Would we be able to [...]
