Description
Money and Empire explores the intellectual contributions of economist Charles P. Kindleberger to our understanding of international monetary systems and imperial economics. Perry Mehrling provides a comprehensive analysis of Kindleberger’s groundbreaking work on the dollar system and its role in shaping post-World War II global finance.
The book examines how Kindleberger’s theories illuminate the relationship between financial power and geopolitical influence, offering insights into how monetary systems reflect and reinforce patterns of economic dominance. Mehrling contextualizes Kindleberger’s scholarship within broader debates about the nature of money, international trade, and the stability of financial markets.
This work is essential for scholars of economic history, international relations, and monetary theory who seek to understand the foundations of modern financial systems and the economic basis of imperial power in the twentieth century.
