I was asked at the money political economy workshop on Thursday had I read David McWilliams' book on Money - they were just wondering what my thoughts on it would be. I hadn't but I said that I'd go through it for next week.

I like this slide for today's workshop on money. It's a follow-on from a question raised at last week's session on what does it mean to say that currency is a commons? This is an idea that is put forward quite clearly (I believe) by Mary Mellor in her book, The Future of Money.
