Understanding Money Mechanics with Bob Murphy (WiM397)
The "What is Money?" Show
Implications of Actions and a Discussion on Money Mechanics
A discussion on the implications of certain actions from both the public and central bankers' perspectives, including an analogy to mob families. They also explore a bank of England paper challenging the traditional money multiplier model and delving into modern monetary theory.
Bob Murphy joins me in-person at ARC Forum 2023 in London to discuss his book, 'Understanding Money Mechanics.' We talk about the nature of money, the cartels of central banking, the modern monetary theory, and the optimism of artificial intelligence.
Bob Murphy is an author and economist. He has authored several economics textbooks. He is also the chief economist at Infineo.
This podcast was filmed at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference in London, England.
