Why read it?

1 author picked Modern Theories of Money as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I recommend this book to any reader interested in the possible cross-fertilization between diverse heterodox traditions in the study of money.

Bringing together perspectives from post-Keynesians, Circuitists, and the Firbourg-Dijon School, the book continues the tradition of Keynes’s and Kalecki’s analysis of a monetary production economy, emphasizing the similarities between the various approaches, and expanding the analytical breadth of the theory of endogenous money.

The authors aim to open new avenues of monetary research and fuel renewed interest in the nature and role of money in capitalist economies.

From Alvaro's list on monetary macroeconomics.
