Abstract

Abstract This essay reviews Stefan Eich’s book, The Currency of Politics: The Political Theory of Money from Aristotle to Keynes, Princeton, New Jersey, Princeton University Press, 2022. Eich reveals the political interventions, both theoretical and practical, that have led to the appearance that money is not to be politicized or subject to democratic control. Although mildly critical of Eich’s book, the review above all serves the constructive purpose of building upon Eich’s insights by selectively examining the theories of money and episodes from monetary history in and through which the politics of money has been contested.

不被人看见的艺术:金钱的政治

本文回顾了斯蒂芬·埃奇的著作《政治的货币:从亚里士多德到凯恩斯的货币政治理论》，普林斯顿，新泽西州，普林斯顿大学出版社，2022年。艾希揭示了理论和实践上的政治干预，这些干预导致了金钱不被政治化或不受民主控制的表象。尽管对艾希的书有轻微的批评，但这篇评论还是有建设性的目的，通过有选择地考察货币理论和货币历史上的一些事件，在这些事件中，货币政治受到了争议，从而建立了艾希的见解。

期刊介绍： Contributions to Political Economy provides a forum for the academic discussion of original ideas and arguments drawn from important critical traditions in economic analysis. Articles fall broadly within the lines of thought associated with the work of the Classical political economists, Marx, Keynes, and Sraffa. While the majority of articles are theoretical and historical in emphasis, the journal welcomes articles of a more applied character. It also reviews noteworthy books recently published.
