[6] Perry Mehrling's brainchild, the Money View, is a monetary-financial school of thought that links the (usually separate) intellectual realms of economics and finance.
Its political dimensions are manifold and include the following: The Money View relies on comparatively few assumptions and uses reason as the primary source of knowledge.
