Understanding The Monetary System
Taking The Monetary System (a book co-written with Jean-Pascal Tranie) as a point of departure, Jean-François Serval will introduce us to a comprehensive economic modeling system that accounts for the unprecedented situation facing international and regional economies by developing a controversial new stance on the operation of money in society. Presenting a classification of financial instruments and an examination of their underlying legal structures, Serval’s analyses shed new light on the present economic and financial problems of slow growth and rising debts, and proposes possible outcomes for the global economy.
Jean-François Serval has gained international attention with his novel approach to currency. He now turns his attention to the social function of money in all its myriad forms and his insight on the social role of money provides a framework for understanding intergenerational redistribution—an urgent problem to solve for our time.
