The best books on Money, recommended by Samuel A. Chambers
Economists have offered two contrasting explanations of what money is and what it is for.

Chambers explains, understanding money as something closer to credit is more convincing and supported by other social sciences and what we’ve learned from the 2008 financial crisis.
