Discussing money is always accompanied by controversy as well as
enchantment. Debating what money is and how it performs its main
functions in the contemporary economy is fundamental to
understanding the social consequences of money transformation
associated with the digital revolution. This book explores the
links between the current and prospective properties of money, its
production, and its relationship to the concepts of value, the
common good, and innovation. Contested Money opens a debate on the
role that money could play in a different paradigm based on a
renewed conception of monetary properties and functions that are
capable of having a positive impact on social and individual
welfare. Massó outlines the fundamentals of this monetary model,
which would operate as a parallel currency, where the processes of
monetary and value creation are connected in a new deal between the
citizen and the state, grounded on an approach of reciprocal rights
and responsibilities. This book will appeal to scholars, students,
and, more broadly, readers interested in a contemporary
understanding of what money is, how it is being transformed, and
the role that it can play in redefining the 21st century social
contract.
