This major new Handbook consists of over 30 contributions that   explore the full range of exciting and interesting work on money and   finance, currently taking place within heterodox economics.     There are many themes and facets of alternative monetary and financial   economics but two major ones can be identified. The first concerns the   nature of money: money is credit created through the financial system in   the process of loan creation. The second theme is that money is endogenous   and not exogenous. Contributions to the Handbook cover the origins and   nature of money, detailed analyses of endogenous money, surveys of   empirical work on endogenous money and the nature of monetary policy when   money is endogenous. The second theme focuses on the financial system, and   the perception that it is generally subject to volatility, instability and   crisis. This Handbook will undoubtedly serve as the ultimate guide to the   full spectrum of alternative monetary economics.    Philip Arestis and Malcolm Sawyer have performed an invaluable task in   compiling a comprehensive Handbook, written by leading specialists, that   will be required reading by upper level undergraduate and postgraduate   students studying money, finance and macroeconomics as well as heterodox   and monetary economists more generally.
