The Price of Time
The Real Story of Interest
Book • 2022
In 'The Price of Time', Edward Chancellor delves into the history of interest from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day, highlighting its crucial role in determining how capital is allocated and priced.
The book discusses the concept of interest as the 'price of time', its various forms and justifications throughout history, and its impact on economic activities.
Chancellor argues that low interest rates, particularly those following the 2008 financial crisis, have led to economic instability, asset price bubbles, reduced productivity growth, and increased inequality.
The book is praised for its engaging narrative, rich in anecdotes and historical insights, making it accessible and informative for both economic historians and general readers.
