Why are the globally wandering money flows becoming larger, why are stock and asset market prices reacting more frantically, and why can't central banks control the money supply and purchasing power? Perhaps you have asked yourself these questions, especially in light of the events of the last ten years, and likely also why we must increase our economic output every year while state debts continue to rise, as does the gap between the rich and the poor? Helmut Creutz illustrates in a striking way how all these misdevelopments are related to the structures of our monetary system and offers sensible and competent solutions. Helmut Creutz, born in 1923, is an experienced economic practitioner and analyst who has shared his economic insights in numerous publications, lectures, and seminars.
