Forget Everything You Know About Money
Economist Felix Martin joins host Merryn Somerset Webb for this week’s episode of Merryn Talks Money to discuss the common understanding of, well, money. Specifically, why the typical conception of what constitutes it may be inaccurate.
Martin, author of the book Money: The Unauthorized Biography and a former fund manager, says that rather than simply being a token medium of exchange, “money” is in fact “a system of ideas; it is the institution of credits and debts. It is the various technologies which have been developed and deployed for recording credits and debts and for transferring credits and debts from one person or one company to another.”
