Money and Government

In this thought-provoking audiobook, renowned political economist Robert Skidelsky critically examines the prevailing views of economics, arguing for a reassessment of the roles of money and government in market economies. Challenging the classical notion of market self-regulation, Skidelsky highlights the significance of uncertainty and the historical shifts in economic thought, from the laissez-faire principles of Adam Smith to the Keynesian insights that emerged during the Great Depression. He contends that recent economic crises necessitate a renewed focus on government intervention and monetary policy to foster recovery and stability, urging a new generation of economists to embrace these vital concepts.
