Arjun Jayadev and I recently submitted the final manuscript of our book, now called Against Money, to University of Chicago Press. The book itself will not be out until early next year. But in the meantime, you can read this blog post on what it's about and what's in it. jwmason.org/slackwire/ag...

After two substantial rounds of revisions, Arjun Jayadev and I finally sent in to day the (knock on wood) final manuscript of our book on money. The book itself won't appear for another eight months, but at least the writing is done.

I look forward to integrating this into my intro international Political economy course this spring.
