In 1979, Margaret Thatcher's new government pursued a monetarist economic policy in response to double-digit inflation, rising unemployment and flatlining economic growth. Tim Lankester's insider's account offers fascinating insights into one of Britain's most unsuccessful economic episodes and also examines monetarism's legacy today.

"This book offers a rigorous, detailed and balanced analysis of the various contributions to the Modern Monetary Theory debate, incorporating both the arguments of proponents and those who point to its limitations and obstacles. Modern Monetary Theory has soared in popularity, particularly in response to the covid-19 pandemic and subsequent impacts to the economy which have led to deeper discussions about monetary and financial systems, fiscal and monetary policies, inflation and employment. The main characteristic of Modern Monetary Theory is that it offers a revolutionary way of thinking about all these issues, allowing us to abandon many of the myths that conventional economic theory installed in the collective imagination. Breaking down these false beliefs is an essential requirement to think and devise economic policy proposals that allow full employment to be achieved without suffering worrying inflation rates. However, this approach has also attratced many criticisms and it is also instructive to consider these in more detail to reach a fully rounded conclusion about the potential or merits of MMT. Written to be accessible to the non-economist, this book will be of great interest to readers from across the social sciences, and outside of academia who want to gain a fuller understanding of the Modern Monetary Theory phenomenon"--

Fondée par Bonaparte en 1800, la Banque de France eut pour objectif premier de favoriser la reprise économique après la forte récession de la période révolutionnaire. Progressivement dotée du privilège d'émission de la monnaie, ses prérogatives n'ont cessé de se diversifier pour répondre aux besoins économiques du pays, notamment à travers le financement de l'État. Elle exerce aujourd'hui trois missions : la stratégie monétaire, la stabilité financière - en lien avec l'Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution qui lui est adossée - et les services à l'économie. Son histoire est celle de son autonomisation : d'abord société anonyme, elle sera nationalisée à la Libération, puis obtiendra son indépendance en 1993. Présente sur l'ensemble du territoire à travers son réseau de succursales, son adhésion à l'Eurosystème en 1998, avec l'adoption de l'euro, redéfinit son rôle dans l'économie nationale. Au travers de son statut et de son évolution, c'est aussi l'économie française qu'Étienne Keroyant et Florent Nicol nous invitent à découvrir.

"Since the creation of the euro and a European Central Bank, the European Union has persistently pursued financial market integration throughout periods of economic growth, membership enlargements, financial breakdown, and political crisis. While traditionally analysed in terms of clashing ideological orientations and strategic political interests, this book presents a novel and empirically grounded perspective on the issues around financial market integration by approaching them in terms of the knowledge problems facing the actors involved. Drawing on European legal texts, policy documents and interviews with regulators, central bankers and financial market professionals, the book is rich in empirical detail which reveals a close-knit set of knowledge problems, or paradoxes, of 'the market'. These paradoxes are irreducible to a particular political ideology or national interests because they are rooted in the conceptual structure of the European treaties. Moreover, while these knowledge problems present themselves as uncertainties, tensions, and conflicts in practice, they also echo persistent conceptual and theoretical controversies in the field of economics. Indeed, the book demonstrates how 'the market' is adopted from economic theory into European treaty law, resulting in central bankers and regulators struggling with knowledge problems and conflicts paralleling classic debates in the academic discipline. This book will be of significant interest to political economists working on European economic integration and money and finance as well as readers of heterodox economics, economic sociology and political and social theory more broadly"--
