The State Theory of Money
活動訊息
內容簡介
An Iconic Money Masterpiece from the 20th Century: Influencing Keynes, Max Weber and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).
Knapp's State Theory of Money has had a profound impact on shaping modern perspectives on money and banking, notably influencing prominent figures such as John Maynard Keynes, Max Weber, neo-chartalism, Post Keynesian monetary theory, and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). It marks the foundation of various contemporary nominalist theories of money and is essential reading for economists and intellectually curious readers seeking to grasp the complexities of money and monetary phenomena. Knapp's ideas have gained significant attention as alternatives to neoclassical economic doctrines that propose the emergence of money from a barter economy (catallactic theory of money).
Shortcomings of the 1924 English Translation: Incompleteness and Bias
However, the English translation published in 1924 is incomplete, omitting the final chapter and presenting only abridged versions of the surviving chapters. Moreover, the translation fails to accurately convey the original meaning, resulting in the near absence of some essential concepts. German-speaking readers face the challenge of deciphering Fraktur, an old-style Gothic typeface, which renders the German edition illegible for modern readers. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a complete and precise translation that includes a detailed index and extensive glossaries of Knapp's neologisms. Without these resources, readers may struggle to navigate the abundance of neologisms and hinder their understanding.

1. Complete and unabridged translation.

5. Complete bibliography.
6. Comprehensive index, including original German terms.
7. Inclusion of page numbers from the 1924 English edition for cross-referencing.
Author: Georg Friedrich Knapp (1842-1926)
Knapp, a prominent figure in the German Historical School, held a significant position as a professor at the University of Stra?burg. His expertise in German agricultural history transitioned into the writing of this book in 1905. Knapp founded the chartalist school of monetary theory, leaving a profound impact on John Maynard Keynes and post-Keynesian economics, including Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).
