The challenge

Why this book exists

Money looks self-evident. But the rules of our monetary system were designed — and can be redesigned.

Hidden design choices

Most people do not know the choices that make money what it is. And so they feel powerless.

Fragmented knowledge

Books on monetary policy are either academically indigestible or populistically shallow.

No shared vocabulary

Citizens and policy makers lack a common vocabulary to talk about money reform.

Our approach

What this book does
