Monetary Alternatives: Rethinking Government Fiat Money

by James A. Dorn (Editor), Claudio Borio (Contributor), Jeffrey Lacker (Contributor)

What monetary system best serves society? The current system of pure government fiat monies, managed by discretionary central banks, is inefficient and unstable. Monetary Alternatives explores fundamental and controversial ideas that move our monetary system and economy beyond repeated crises to sustainable stability and prosperity. The contributors to this volume energetically question the status quo and provide compelling arguments for moving to a monetary system based on freedom and the rule of law.
