Bjerg How is Money Made? The Philosophy of Post-Credit Capitalism

In his work, Uwe Bjerg offers a philosophical analysis of money in modern capitalism. Issues related to monetary relations are understood through the ideas of Slavoj Žižek, Jacques Lacan, and Martin Heidegger. The author examines existing theories of money, analyzes... current economic theories, and models the process of money creation by banks to illustrate the fundamental principles of the financial system's functioning in contemporary society. He insists: the question of the essence of money and its creation is political. Therefore, the publication will be of interest not only to specialists in economics but also to a wider audience.
