A Political Theory of Money - Book Talk by Anush Kapadia

Anush Kapadia is Associate Professor for Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) at IIT Bombay. He works on the politics of financial systems, trying to understand how system-design choices are also political choices, and how these choices lead to macro-social outcomes such as growth or crises. He has done both theoretical and empirical work in case studies covering Indian bond markets, the US shadow-banking system, the EU, and the global reserve system. He recently published his book A Political Theory of Money (2024) with Cambridge University Press.

This talk was part of the 4th Annual Money View Symposium, hosted by YSI on 3-5 February, 2024. The Symposium showcased the work of scholars and practitioners that make use of the money view, ranging from economists to lawyers, politicians and social scientists at large.
