Abstract

The article discusses Stefan Eich's book, which explores the political theory of money, emphasizing its historical significance and contemporary implications. Eich examines various thinkers, including Aristotle, John Locke, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes, to illustrate how money functions as both a medium of exchange and an institution of political rule. The book raises critical questions about the politicization of money in democracies and critiques the limitations of relying solely on monetary policy to address structural economic issues. Eich ultimately advocates for a re-evaluation of monetary systems to enhance democratic governance. [Extracted from the article]
