hi

Here is a list of references I have made over the last couple of years, that analyze money and capitalism (also different social struggles) in interesting ways. I have read about half of them, but there are a number I haven’t yet read, but the references were taken from bibliographies of books that I found very useful so I expect them to be useful.

A word of warning: A few of them are overtly right wing theoreticians, such as Niall Ferguson, and are there to give insight into some of the motivations behind right wing monetary policies. There are others, such as the book by Wachtel or Greiber whose titles look far too close to conspiracy theory for my liking, but, though I haven’t read them yet,  I have been assured by a number of people that they are useful reading, at least at an informational and historical level, despite their problematic titles.

Also, the list is missing “classics” on money, such as Marx, Lenin, Luxembourg, Keynes etc.

the list is not intended to be comprehensive, just some that i have found useful.

having said this…

i tend to agree with alex…now is not the time for ploughing through loads of books with N15 coming up….
