It’s been over 10 years since I printed Understanding the Fashionable Financial System, probably the most broadly learn papers within the SSRN analysis database. I printed this paper as a result of I used to be having hassle discovering a succinct however thorough clarification of cash and macroeconomics through the monetary disaster. Additional, most of the mainstream explanations of ideas like QE, banking, inflation and cash appeared outdated at greatest and improper at worst. Since then many of the ideas on this paper have been adopted by the mainstream or up to date to account for the ideas. I’m extraordinarily pleased with how nicely this paper has held up over time, but it surely wanted some updating.
We’ve added sections on inflation, financial coverage, cryptocurrency and way more. It’s cleaner, much more succinct, much less narrative and extra empirically pushed. I hope you study rather a lot from it.
