Before there were banks, coins, or crash warnings — there was trust, trade, and the primal instinct of value. Economics 101 doesn’t teach you how to ace a test. It shows you how the entire game got built. From mammoth meat to crypto scams, feudal tithes to stock buybacks, this book walks you through the messy, mythological, totally human story of how money came to rule everything around us. It’s not about charts or jargon. It’s about why the world works the way it does — and what happens when the story of value starts to fall apart.

This is sequel to another volume by Andy Blunden, The Capital/Logic Debate. In this book, the author provides a systematic presentation of the Hegelian structure of the three volumes of Capital. It is shown that Capital contains three distinct layers of structure, originating from Marx’s reading of Hegel’s Logic and his Philosophy of Right. Capital reflects Marx’s critique of the Political Economists, his unique appropriation of economic history and an application of the method outlined by Hegel in his Logic and applied to his Encyclopaedia.

Die westliche Welt hat gelernt, die Staatsschulden zu lieben. Im Kampf gegen die große Finanzkrise und in der Pandemie wurden riesige Haushaltsdefizite zur Normalität. Der von den USA, Europa und Japan aufgetürmte Schuldenberg ist heute in Relation zur Wirtschaftskraft so hoch wie kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Doch die Ära, in der sich Staaten nahezu gratis verschulden konnten, ist vorüber. Die Zinsverpflichtungen steigen rasch. Viele Länder – vorneweg die USA unter Donald Trump – steuern auf eine schwere Finanzkrise zu.
