Books Balance of Power: Central Banks and the Fate of Democracies Kindle Edition by Éric Monnet (Author), Steven Rendall (Translator) in 1-cables-digital-led-display

In Balance of Power, economist and historian Éric Monnet charts the rise of central banks as the nominally independent—but unadably political—superpowers of modern societies. This trajectory, Monnet argues, is neither inevitable nor unstoppable. By embracing the political natures of today’s central banks, we can construct systems of accountability for how they interact with states and societies. Monnet shows that this effort will do more than guard against unjust power; it will put the banks to work for greater, more democratic ends.
