The Production of Money by Ann Pettifor
What is money, where does it come from, and who controls it?
Ann Pettifor was always the ideal author of a book that shatters the fantasy of apolitical money and the toxic myth that monetary policy must remain a democracy-free zoneThis book is now a reality. -- Yanis Varoufakis, author of And the Weak Suffer What they Must?
Ann deserves a lot of credit because she was trying to highlight these issues many, many years ago, and unfortunately, there weren't enough people who were trying to map the system, model it, and then above all else, modify it. -- Gillian Tett, author of The Silo Effect
Ann Pettifor is a rare voice giving us a brilliant analysis of the overweening privilege given to finance. Her vital insight has been to explain how money, and the way banks are allowed to create and allocate it, fuels both economic and environmental havoc. Without Ann's call to re-imagine our bank and money system, we would not be able to find even the beginnings of the answers we desperately need. -- Andrew Simms, author of Cancel the Apocalyspe
A wonderful economist who first said that 'Britain is living in an Alice in Wongaland economy', -- Nick Cohen, author of What's Left?
Our livelihoods and ecosystem are deeply affected by the world of money production and finance. But it's a world largely hidden from us by vested interests. In language we can all understand Ann Pettifor explains the issues and the debates around money, shadow banking, QE and ' helicopter money'. A must-read -- Caroline Lucas, MP, Co-Leader of the UK Green Party
Pettifor has a splendidly clear vision, both of money creation and of the role of banks. There is a great deal to applaud here, including her critique of mainstream economic models, which continue to ignore money and banking or, alternatively, get that horribly wrong. -- Charles Goodhart, Emeritus Professor, London School of Economics
Coolly authoritative, soberly trenchant, unexpectedly compelling, Ann Pettifor's book is vital in both senses, important and full of life. -- Zoe Williams * Guardian *
Pettifor's new book aims to elucidate the nature of money, the better to help women advocate for their needs. * Vogue *
