Reform of the monetary system, equity-based money. abstract: At present, the world-economy is exceedingly fragile. Debt levels of nations peak. Monetary assets increase, too, and concentrate in the hands of few. In this paper, I show that a mechanism at the root of today’s monetary system entails an inherently fragile economy. I simulate the consequences of this mechanism within a macroeconomic model. I motivate a new monetary system that gives money the role it should have: to facilitate complex interactions in a stable environment. date: 2015-01 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00018115 schriftenreihe_cluster_id: sr-3 schriftenreihe_order: 0580 ppn_swb: 1654697060 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-181158 language: eng bibsort: SCHMIDTSANPUREMONEYF201501 full_text_status: public series: Discussion Paper Series, University of Heidelberg, Department of Economics volume: 0580 place_of_pub: Heidelberg pages: 32 citation: Schmidt, Sandra (2015) Pure Money for a Sound Economy.
