Abstract

Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter system--to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. The problem with this version of history? There's not a shred of evidence to support it. Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginning of the agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems--a system that far preceeded cash or organized barter. It is in this era, Graeber shows, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. With the passage of time, however, virtual credit money was replaced by gold and silver coins--and the system as a whole began to decline. Interest rates spiked and the indebted became slaves. And the system perpetuated itself with tremendously violent consequences, with only the rare intervention of kings and churches keeping the system from spiraling out of control. Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a fascinating chronicle of this little known history--as well as how it has defined human history, and what it means for the credit crisis of the present day and the future of our economy.

Abstract

This book provides a comprehensive survey of the major developments in monetary theory and policy from David Hume and Adam Smith to Walter Bagehot and Knut Wicksell. In particular, it seeks to explain why it took so long for a theory of central banking to penetrate mainstream thought. The book investigates how major monetary theorists understood the roles of the invisible and visible hands in money, credit and banking; what they thought about rules and discretion and the role played by commodity-money in their conceptualizations; whether or not they distinguished between the two different roles carried out via the financial system - making payments efficiently within the exchange process and facilitating intermediation in the capital market; how they perceived the influence of the monetary system on macroeconomic aggregates such as the price level, output and accumulation of wealth; and finally, what they thought about monetary policy.

Abstract

In "Beurzen van België" wordt de vroege geschiedenis van het beurswezen in de Belgische gewesten onderzocht. Napoleon vaardigde in 1801 een decreet uit voor de oprichting van beurzen in alle belangrijke handelssteden van het Franse Rijk. Deze beurzen zouden ten dienste staan van de handel in steden zoals Antwerpen, Brugge, Gent, Oostende en Brussel. Leuven, Dendermonde, Mons, Luik en Doornik volgden later. Het boek geeft inzicht in de oorsprong van heel wat beursmechanismen zoals die decennialang (en soms zelfs tot vandaag) hebben voortbestaan. Het boek is van belang voor economische historici omdat het voor het eerst in detail blootlegt welk belang de beurs als onderdeel van de kapitaalmarkt had. Voor economen biedt het de achtergrond om langetermijnreeksen met betrekking tot het beurswezen te verstaan

Abstract

Adorée ou détestée, proscrite ou imposée, la monnaie joue dans les nations le rôle du sang dans le corps humain. En nous contant son histoire, l'auteur renouvelle celle des peuples qui tous ont dû s'assigner des règles monétaires pour accéder à la civilisation de l'échange. Les aventures peu morales des grandes monnaies, l'inflation, la démonétisation de l'or, autant d'étapes vers un statut monétaire de plus en plus abstrait. Demain, la monétique tuera-t-elle la monnaie ? En supprimant les espèces, elle ne remet pas en cause les fondements de l'économie.
