What makes certain types of money better than others? What consequences will you face when strangers suddenly mass produce your money, or when the authorities, whose very job it is to preserve monetary integrity, choose to pursue debasements and tinkering? While little discussed today, these questions address the problems on account of which many cultures and civilizations have collapsed and perished, and despite being neglected, they are no less critical for the present. Money Dethroned is a historical journey following the travels of some of humanity's most renowned explorers, investigating the history and evolution of money through their first-hand accounts. Combining economic theory, it explores the nature of money, its notable characteristics, and how the dynamics which cause its rise and demise have shaped the course of history.

What is the score card for economics at the start of the new millennium? While there are many different schools of economic thought, it is the neo-classical school, with its alleged understanding and simplistic advocacy of the market, that has become equated in the public mind with economics. This book shows that virtually every aspect of conventional neo-classical economics' thinking is intellectually unsound. Steve Keen draws on an impressive array of advanced critical thinking. He constitutes a profound critique of the principle concepts, theories, and methodologies of the mainstream discipline. Keen raises grave doubts about economics' pretensions to established scientific status and its reliability as a guide to understanding the real world of economic life and its policy-making.
