Daniela Gabor (University of the West of England), Ann Pettifor (Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME)) and Dimitris Sotiropoulos (Open University) Despite its centrality in our social and economic life, the nature of money remains a subject of debate among political economists. Can we reduce money to its functions and can other “things” perform these functions? Can money exist without the State? Are crypto-currencies money? Join the IIPPE Financialisation Working Group for a discussion on these themes. Our expert panel will be composed of: Professor Daniela Gabor, Professor at the University of the West of England, currently researching the INET project “Managing Shadow Money”. Professor Ann Pettifor, Director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME). She recently published the book The Production of Money: How to Break the Power of the Banks (Verso). Dr Dimitris Sotiropoulos, Senior Lecturer at The Open University, author of the book The Political Economy of Contemporary Capitalism and Its Crisis: Demystifying Finance (Routledge).
