Reviews

`This is an edited, two-volume collection of articles with the focus on questions of the emergence of money, the role of money, monetary policy, and the importance of financial institutions. Overall, the collection provides interesting insights on ideas in various heterodox monetary research programs, particularly the ones following a post-Keynesian agenda, and I can see it as a useful reference for those who want to learn and write about these research programs.' -- Simon Bilo, Journal of the History of Economic Thought `Randall Wray's two volumes provide a bright beacon in a darkening night of turmoil, confusion and ignorance. By bringing together classics from both the mainstream and heterodox approaches to monetary theory and policy, Wray provides a fundamental resource for the urgently needed rethink on how the interrelated world of monetary production economies functions or misfunctions, and also a basis for the development of a sound theory on how to erect effective policies for tackling major, potentially disastrous problems.' -- Geoffrey Harcourt, University of New South Wales, Australia
