Rezensionen

"Robert Pringle's worldly vision is openly and proudly liberal, particularly in his approach to the state's monetary role in current times. The powerful liberal tradition plays a primary role in the book. ... The scope for defining these terms is wide open. Pringle deserves great credit for having set out the problem with such clarity." (Alessandro Roselli, Economic Affairs, Vol. 40 (2), June, 2020)
"The book ought to be read by anyone with an interest in history, politics or society. Economists would benefit, too, from Pringle's far more thoughtful dissection of what money actually is and actually does than their textbooks often present." (Claire Jones, Central Banking, centralbanking.com, February 18, 2020)
