It makes us fully aware of thecrazy world we live in. It is a kind of theor-etical equivalent of a science fiction filmin which we discover that aliens are already among us and are controlling us.' --Slavoj Žižek 'Ole Bjerg provides us with a brilliant philo-sophical examination of this phenomenon that we call money ... This book should be onthe reading list of all economists, bankers, civil servants, politicians and, most importantly, of all citizens if we are to stand any chance of overcoming the deep dysfunctions of themoney and banking system that were drama-tically revealed by their near collapse in 2008.' --Tony Greenham, Head of Finance and Business at New Economics Foundation and co-author of Where Does Money Come From?
