Money is a debt, because that is how it is conceptualised and comes into existence: as circulating credit – if viewed from the creditor’s perspective – or, from the debtor’s viewpoint, as debt. This book presents a legal theory of money, based on the concept of dematerialised property. It describes the money creation or money supply process for cash and for bank money, and looks at modern forms of money, such as cryptocurrencies. It also shows why mainstream economics presupposes, but avoids an analysis of, money by effectively eliminating money from the microeconomic market model and declaring it as merely a neutral medium of exchange and unit of account. The book explains that money rather brings about and influences substantially the exchange or transaction it is supposed to facilitate only as a neutral medium. As the most liquid of all assets, money enables financialisation, monetisation and commodification in the economy. The central role of the banks in the money creation process and in the economy, and their strengthened position after the bank rescue measures in the wake of the financial crisis 2008-9 are also discussed.   Providing a rigorous analysis of the most salient legal issues regarding money, this book will appeal to legal theorists, economists and anyone working in commercial or banking law.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51017833382161,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51017835839761,"sku":"NIN9781032239958","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52426417963281,"sku":"NLS9781032239958","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032239956.jpg?v=1750951110"},{"product_id":"lord-kames-book-andreas-rahmatian-9781845409128","title":"Lord Kames","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe judge, jurist and philosopher Henry Home, Lord Kames (1696-1782) was a polymath and one of the principal personalities of the Scottish Enlightenment. As a teacher and mentor of Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, and David Hume to some extent, he published works on law and legal history, moral philosophy, aesthetics and rhetoric, anthropology and sociology of law, and on the economic and agricultural improvement of Scotland. He saw these disciplines as elements of a philosophical history of man that developed in certain stages, and he considered law as part of all these subjects. Kames was a widely read author in the eighteenth century, and some of his works were translated into French and German at the time. His influence on German men of letters and on some of the Founders of the United States was considerable. This anthology contains characteristic passages from Kames's works, particularly from his \u003cem\u003eSketches of the History of Man\u003c\/em\u003e (1774), a comprehensive synoptic work which presents Kames's idea of the progress of man, of society, and of the sciences, from the \u003cem\u003eEssays on the Principles of Morality and Natural Religion\u003c\/em\u003e (1751), a critique of Hume and an important work of Scottish Common Sense philosophy, from the \u003cem\u003eElements of Criticism\u003c\/em\u003e (1762) on aesthetics, rhetoric and literary criticism, and from the \u003cem\u003ePrinciples of Equity\u003c\/em\u003e (1760) and the \u003cem\u003eHistorical Law-Tracts\u003c\/em\u003e (1758) as his main works on law and legal history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51053490405649,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51053493027089,"sku":"NIN9781845409128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1845409124.jpg?v=1750995386"},{"product_id":"laws-of-property-book-andreas-rahmatian-9781509963614","title":"The Laws of Property","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book discusses the 'theory of dematerialised property', a constructivist property theory that applies to tangible and intangible property alike.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It considers the way in which this theory regards 'property' as a creation of the law and considers the possible corporality of things as a conceptually unconnected incidence of the legal-normative conception of the property object. The concept of dematerialised property is a new theory, although in legal practice it seems to have been established intuitively and unconsciously for a long time. The foundation for the discussion of dematerialised property is a theoretical examination of definitions, terminologies and concepts of property, particularly ownership and possession, and restricted real rights, as well as a comparative law overview of concepts of ownership and the acquisition and transfer of property rights in the different common law and civil law property systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The theory of dematerialised property forms a good theoretical basis for explaining and defining forms of intangible property, like debts, money and shares, and modern forms of property, such as electronic money, non-fungible tokens or data. The book also features the ideas of property theorists in political philosophy, such as Locke and Hegel, and revisits specifically legal theories of property, such as by Hohfeld, but only to the extent to which all these theories are relevant to practical property law. It then deals with economic, sociological and psychological dimensions of property which are behind the mainly legal concept of property, aspects which are generally disregarded in traditional texts on property theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53602842378513,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53602842771729,"sku":"NGR9781509963614","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-andreas-rahmatian.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
