Praise for Michel Aglietta's Money: 5,000 Years of Debt and Power: Believe it or not, money is absent from the economic theories that underpin every policy ever enacted on our behalf! Michel Aglietta's new book explains splendidly this remarkable absence and, in the process, highlights beautifully the clash between finance and democracy, with special emphasis on how the US dollar's domination reflects, on the one hand, America's geopolitical power and, on the other, the inherent incongruities of the financial sector. -Yanis Varoufakis, author of And the Weak Suffer What They Must?
