{"product_id":"understanding-money-mechanics","title":"Understanding Money Mechanics","description":"Understanding Money Mechanics provides the intelligent layperson with a concise yet comprehensive overview of the theory, history, and practice of money and banking, with a focus on the United States. Although the author considers himself an Austrian school economist, most of the material in this book is a neutral presentation of historical facts and an objective description of the mechanics of money creation in today's world.\n\nThis book is intended to be a reference for all readers, whether \"Austrian\" or not, and to bridge the gap by providing a crash course in the necessary theory and history while keeping the discussion tethered to current events.\n\nUnderstanding Money Mechanics covers numerous topics, including the classical gold standard, the Fed's open market operations, changes in central bank policy since the coronavirus, the economics of Bitcoin, and a critique of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1610167406\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1610167406.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Murphy, Robert P\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
