What does money mean? Where does it come from and how does it work?

Mary Mellor examines money’s social, political and commercial histories to debunk longstanding myths such as money being in short supply and needing to come from somewhere. She sets out a new finance system, based on green and feminist concerns, to bring radical change for social good.

Mary Mellor is Emeritus Professor at the University of Northumbria. She has published extensively on gender and the environment, social, green and feminist economics and the democratisation of money as a public resource.
