SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Political Economy of Development Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Political Economy of Development Reading Group\n\nAre you working on questions of development through a Political Economy lens? Or simply interested in how power\, institutions\, and political forces shape economic development? \nThis monthly virtual reading group (every first Monday of the month) brings together young scholars working on Political Economy and development from across institutions and countries. It’s a space to read interesting work\, exchange ideas\, get feedback on your own research\, and meet others working on related questions. \nEach session will focus on a published Political Economy article on development\, alongside opportunities to discuss participants’ own research and ideas. Over time\, we hope the group can become a space for intellectual exchange\, new connections\, and potential collaboration. \nThe group grew out of an existing community of scholars who have been meeting for some time\, including through an in-person workshop and a forthcoming special issue. We’re now opening the conversation to new participants and look forward to building the community further. \nYou can find all our past readings and discussion notes as well as our definition of Political Economy here: \n  \n\nWe look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts! \n\nCaroline & Guido\n  \nUpcoming sessions:\nMonday October 5 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nNaseemullah 2023 The Political Economy of National Development: A Research Agenda after Neoliberalism \nMonday November 2 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nGreen 2025 The persistence of the moneylender: How informal debt deepens financialization in the Cambodian countryside \nMonday December 7 (1-2pm UTC)\nTBD \n  \nPrevious sessions:\nSeptember 7 \nTo kick us off after the summer break we discussed why PE perspectives have become less prominent in development studies over time (and why it is important to bring them back) based on two short articles by Pritish Behuria who has been an active PE defender in discipline-wide “Future of Development Studies” debates. \n  \n\nBehuria 2025 Is the Study of Development Humiliating or Emancipatory? \nBehuria 2025 The case for structuralism: the selective amnesia of global development amid contemporary aid cuts \n\n\n\n\n\n

Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Political Economy of Development Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Political Economy of Development Reading Group\n\nAre you working on questions of development through a Political Economy lens? Or simply interested in how power\, institutions\, and political forces shape economic development? \nThis monthly virtual reading group (every first Monday of the month) brings together young scholars working on Political Economy and development from across institutions and countries. It’s a space to read interesting work\, exchange ideas\, get feedback on your own research\, and meet others working on related questions. \nEach session will focus on a published Political Economy article on development\, alongside opportunities to discuss participants’ own research and ideas. Over time\, we hope the group can become a space for intellectual exchange\, new connections\, and potential collaboration. \nThe group grew out of an existing community of scholars who have been meeting for some time\, including through an in-person workshop and a forthcoming special issue. We’re now opening the conversation to new participants and look forward to building the community further. \nYou can find all our past readings and discussion notes as well as our definition of Political Economy here: \n  \n\nWe look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts! \n\nCaroline & Guido\n  \nUpcoming sessions:\nMonday October 5 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nNaseemullah 2023 The Political Economy of National Development: A Research Agenda after Neoliberalism \nMonday November 2 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nGreen 2025 The persistence of the moneylender: How informal debt deepens financialization in the Cambodian countryside \nMonday December 7 (1-2pm UTC)\nTBD \n  \nPrevious sessions:\nSeptember 7 \nTo kick us off after the summer break we discussed why PE perspectives have become less prominent in development studies over time (and why it is important to bring them back) based on two short articles by Pritish Behuria who has been an active PE defender in discipline-wide “Future of Development Studies” debates. \n  \n\nBehuria 2025 Is the Study of Development Humiliating or Emancipatory? \nBehuria 2025 The case for structuralism: the selective amnesia of global development amid contemporary aid cuts \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility?

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Political Economy of Development Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Political Economy of Development Reading Group\n\nAre you working on questions of development through a Political Economy lens? Or simply interested in how power\, institutions\, and political forces shape economic development? \nThis monthly virtual reading group (every first Monday of the month) brings together young scholars working on Political Economy and development from across institutions and countries. It’s a space to read interesting work\, exchange ideas\, get feedback on your own research\, and meet others working on related questions. \nEach session will focus on a published Political Economy article on development\, alongside opportunities to discuss participants’ own research and ideas. Over time\, we hope the group can become a space for intellectual exchange\, new connections\, and potential collaboration. \nThe group grew out of an existing community of scholars who have been meeting for some time\, including through an in-person workshop and a forthcoming special issue. We’re now opening the conversation to new participants and look forward to building the community further. \nYou can find all our past readings and discussion notes as well as our definition of Political Economy here: \n  \n\nWe look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts! \n\nCaroline & Guido\n  \nUpcoming sessions:\nMonday October 5 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nNaseemullah 2023 The Political Economy of National Development: A Research Agenda after Neoliberalism \nMonday November 2 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nGreen 2025 The persistence of the moneylender: How informal debt deepens financialization in the Cambodian countryside \nMonday December 7 (1-2pm UTC)\nTBD \n  \nPrevious sessions:\nSeptember 7 \nTo kick us off after the summer break we discussed why PE perspectives have become less prominent in development studies over time (and why it is important to bring them back) based on two short articles by Pritish Behuria who has been an active PE defender in discipline-wide “Future of Development Studies” debates. \n  \n\nBehuria 2025 Is the Study of Development Humiliating or Emancipatory? \nBehuria 2025 The case for structuralism: the selective amnesia of global development amid contemporary aid cuts \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility?

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Political Economy of Development Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Political Economy of Development Reading Group\n\nAre you working on questions of development through a Political Economy lens? Or simply interested in how power\, institutions\, and political forces shape economic development? \nThis monthly virtual reading group (every first Monday of the month) brings together young scholars working on Political Economy and development from across institutions and countries. It’s a space to read interesting work\, exchange ideas\, get feedback on your own research\, and meet others working on related questions. \nEach session will focus on a published Political Economy article on development\, alongside opportunities to discuss participants’ own research and ideas. Over time\, we hope the group can become a space for intellectual exchange\, new connections\, and potential collaboration. \nThe group grew out of an existing community of scholars who have been meeting for some time\, including through an in-person workshop and a forthcoming special issue. We’re now opening the conversation to new participants and look forward to building the community further. \nYou can find all our past readings and discussion notes as well as our definition of Political Economy here: \n  \n\nWe look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts! \n\nCaroline & Guido\n  \nUpcoming sessions:\nMonday October 5 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nNaseemullah 2023 The Political Economy of National Development: A Research Agenda after Neoliberalism \nMonday November 2 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nGreen 2025 The persistence of the moneylender: How informal debt deepens financialization in the Cambodian countryside \nMonday December 7 (1-2pm UTC)\nTBD \n  \nPrevious sessions:\nSeptember 7 \nTo kick us off after the summer break we discussed why PE perspectives have become less prominent in development studies over time (and why it is important to bring them back) based on two short articles by Pritish Behuria who has been an active PE defender in discipline-wide “Future of Development Studies” debates. \n  \n\nBehuria 2025 Is the Study of Development Humiliating or Emancipatory? \nBehuria 2025 The case for structuralism: the selective amnesia of global development amid contemporary aid cuts \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Winter School on Applied Economics for Sustainable Development (WiSED) 2027
DESCRIPTION:About WiSED\n  \nThe Winter School on Applied Economics for Sustainable Development (WiSED) 2027) marks the second edition of this international academic initiative. Together with the Summer School on Applied Economics for Latin America (EVEAAL)\, WiSED forms part of a broader academic network dedicated to building an international community of scholars interested in applied economics\, economic development\, and sustainable development from heterodox perspectives. \n  \nBoth initiatives share a common vision: to create lasting academic networks by bringing together students\, early-career researchers\, and senior scholars in an environment that encourages learning\, collaboration\, and the exchange of ideas. Rather than being isolated training events\, WiSED and EVEAAL aim to foster a vibrant international community that promotes long-term research collaborations\, interdisciplinary dialogue\, and the development of new generations of researchers committed to addressing the economic and social challenges facing Latin America and other developing regions. \n  \nWiSED 2027 is jointly organized by the Faculty of Economics\, University of Tuscia (UNITUS) and the Institute of Economic Research of National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). \n  \nWiSED was conceived as a space for dialogue among scholars\, students\, and researchers interested in understanding the challenges of economic development and sustainable development from a heterodox perspective. While the School welcomes intellectual diversity\, its academic identity is grounded in traditions such as Latin American Structuralism\, Post-Keynesian Economics\, Institutional Economics\, Ecological Economics\, Feminist Economics\, and other critical approaches that seek to understand development beyond conventional frameworks. \n  \nParticular attention is given to Latin America and other developing economies\, where persistent structural constraints\, productive heterogeneity\, inequality\, climate change\, and the energy transition pose complex policy challenges requiring both theoretical innovation and rigorous empirical analysis. \n  \nObjective\n  \nWiSED 2027 aims to bridge economic theory and quantitative methods by offering participants an intensive learning experience that combines conceptual reflection with practical research tools. \nUnlike traditional summer or winter schools that focus exclusively on either theory or methodology\, WiSED is structured around the idea that empirical methods acquire their full value only when they are informed by solid theoretical foundations. \nEach day is therefore organized around two complementary components: \n\nMorning sessions\, where internationally recognized scholars present theoretical and policy-oriented perspectives on contemporary development challenges.\nAfternoon methodological workshops\, where participants receive intensive hands-on training in a quantitative method and learn how that technique can be applied to answer the theoretical questions discussed during the morning sessions.\n\nThis structure enables participants not only to learn advanced empirical techniques but also to understand why\, when\, and how these methods should be used in the analysis of development\, sustainability\, and structural change. \nThe program concludes with the WiSED Workshop\, providing participants with the opportunity to present their own research\, receive comments from leading scholars\, and exchange ideas with colleagues from different countries and disciplines. Participants will also be invited to indicate whether they wish to submit their work for consideration in a Special Issue associated with the event\, subject to the journal’s standard peer-review process. \n  \n  \nOfficial Language\nEnglish \n  \n  \nVenue\nUniversity of Tuscia (UNITUS)  \nUniversità degli Studi della Tuscia | Sito Ufficiale\nViterbo\, Italy \n  \n  \nWho Should Apply?\n  \nWiSED welcomes: \n\nMaster’s and Ph.D. students.\nPostdoctoral researchers.\nEarly-career academics.\nResearchers interested in sustainable development\, structural change\, industrial policy\, environmental economics\, ecological transition\, applied macroeconomics\, and related fields.\n\nThe School particularly encourages applications from participants interested in heterodox economics\, especially those working on the challenges faced by Latin America and the Global South\, while remaining open to researchers from all regions seeking to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue. \n  \n  \n\n\nApplication deadline: 15 October 2026\n\n\nNotification of selected participants: 1 November 2026\n\n\n\n  \nYoung Scholars Initiative (YSI)\n  \nIn collaboration with the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI)\, WiSED will organize a Colloquia designed to strengthen the participation of young researchers within the broader Winter School. \nSelected YSI participants will take part in both the Colloquia and the main WiSED activities\, promoting interaction between young scholars and internationally recognized researchers. \nPartial financial support is expected to be available through YSI (fourthcoming). \n  \n  \nAcademic Structure\n  \n  \nPart I. Morning Sessions\nTheory and Development\n  \nEach morning will feature plenary lectures delivered by distinguished scholars from different heterodox traditions. These sessions will examine contemporary debates on: \n\nEconomic development and structural transformation.\nSustainable development and the green transition.\nIndustrial and innovation policies.\nClimate change and energy transition.\nProductive heterogeneity and inequality.\nBlue Economy and Sustainable Coastal Development\nContemporary debates in heterodox economics.\nPublic policy challenges in developing economies.\n\nPart II. Afternoon Sessions\nApplied Quantitative Methods\n  \nEvery afternoon participants will attend an intensive methodological workshop devoted to a specific quantitative technique widely used in applied economics. \nThe workshop will combine conceptual explanations\, empirical applications\, and practical exercises\, allowing participants to understand how quantitative methods can be employed to investigate issues discussed during the morning lectures. \n  \n  \nWiSED Workshop:\nThe challenges of ecological transition: North-South perspective\n  \nWednesday\, 27 January 2027 \n  \nOn Wednesday\, 27 January 2027\, WiSED will host the WiSED Workshop\, a dedicated academic session where participants will have the opportunity to present their ongoing research in a collaborative and international environment. \n  \nThe Workshop is designed to promote academic exchange by allowing participants to discuss their work with distinguished scholars and fellow researchers. \n  \nWe invite participants to present their current investigations. Main topics: \nFiscal Sustainability and the Green Transition \n\nInternational Financial Architecture and Access to Green Finance.\nThe Role of Public and Multilateral Finance in Supporting a Just Transition.\n\nTrade\, Technological Dependency\, and the Reconfiguration of Global Value Chains \n\nImpacts of Decarbonization on Export Structures Reliant on Natural Resources.\nIndustrial Policy Strategies for a Green Transformation under External Constraint.\n\nDemand-led Growth and Ecological Transition \nJust Transition\, Employment\, and Inequality \n\nAssessing the Potential of Green Sectors to Absorb Informal and Precarious Labor.\n\nClimate Change\, Debt\, and Macroeconomic Resilience \n\nEconomic Vulnerability to Climate Disasters.\n\nPolitical Economy of the Green Transition \n\nDistributional Conflicts and Institutional Coalitions in the Green Transition.\n\nBlue Economy and Sustainable Coastal Development \n\nSustainable Management of Marine and Coastal Resources.\nCoastal Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation.\nSocioeconomic Impacts of Climate Change on Coastal Economies and Communities.\nBlue Finance and Policies for Sustainable Ocean-Based Development.\n\nParticipants wishing to present a paper will be invited to submit an extended abstract in advance. During the registration process\, applicants will also be able to indicate whether they are interested in having their completed paper considered for publication in a Special Issue associated with WiSED 2027. Submission to the Special Issue will be entirely voluntary and subject to the journal’s standard editorial and peer-review procedures. \nFollow us: https://www.instagram.com/eveaal_summerschool/ \nA Unique Learning Experience\nWiSED is more than a winter school. It is an international forum that connects heterodox economic thinking\, applied quantitative methods\, and policy-oriented research to contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainable development challenges in Latin America and other developing economies. \nBy combining theoretical debate\, methodological training\, and academic exchange\, WiSED seeks to build a vibrant community of young scholars committed to advancing innovative and socially relevant research on economic development.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Inequality from global south: intersectional frameworks to understand and study current crisis
DESCRIPTION:Across the Global South\, inequality is shaped by colonial legacies\, uneven integration into global capitalism\, financial dependency\, extractivism\, environmental degradation\, and persistent intersections of class\, gender\, race\, ethnicity\, territory\, and migration. These dynamics produce forms of exclusion and dispossession that challenge conventional approaches centered solely on income distribution or social mobility. \nThis panel invites contributions that place the Global South at the center of debates on inequality\, exploring how structural asymmetries are reproduced and contested across different scales. We welcome theoretical\, empirical\, and methodological papers. \nPossible topics include\, but are not limited to: \n\nInequality\, dependency\, and global value chains.\n\n\nFinancialization\, indebtedness\, and social reproduction.\n\n\nFeminist\, decolonial\, and intersectional perspectives on inequality.\n\n\nLabor market transformations\, informality\, and precarious work.\n\n\nExtractivism\, ecological conflicts\, and environmental justice.\n\n\nPoverty dynamics and multidimensional inequalities.\n\n\nPublic policies\, welfare regimes\, and redistribution.\n\n\nTerritorial\, urban\, and rural inequalities.\n\n\nIndigenous\, Afro-descendant\, and marginalized communities.\n\n\nMigration\, mobility\, and transnational inequalities.\n\n\nAlternative development strategies and South-South perspectives.\n\nThe panel seeks to foster dialogue among young scholars who critically examine the production\, persistence\, and transformation of inequalities from the experiences\, epistemologies\, and realities of the Global South\, contributing to more plural and context-sensitive understandings of contemporary development. \nThe motivation is to develop further these problematics and invite more young scholars to explore the intersecctions of inequality\, as well as invite to connect with senior scholar during two conferences: the ICAPE Conference and ASSSA Conference. \nhttps://icape.org/ \nhttps://www.aeaweb.org/conference/

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.

SUMMARY:Political Economy of Development Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Political Economy of Development Reading Group\n\nAre you working on questions of development through a Political Economy lens? Or simply interested in how power\, institutions\, and political forces shape economic development? \nThis monthly virtual reading group (every first Monday of the month) brings together young scholars working on Political Economy and development from across institutions and countries. It’s a space to read interesting work\, exchange ideas\, get feedback on your own research\, and meet others working on related questions. \nEach session will focus on a published Political Economy article on development\, alongside opportunities to discuss participants’ own research and ideas. Over time\, we hope the group can become a space for intellectual exchange\, new connections\, and potential collaboration. \nThe group grew out of an existing community of scholars who have been meeting for some time\, including through an in-person workshop and a forthcoming special issue. We’re now opening the conversation to new participants and look forward to building the community further. \nYou can find all our past readings and discussion notes as well as our definition of Political Economy here: \n  \n\nWe look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts! \n\nCaroline & Guido\n  \nUpcoming sessions:\nMonday October 5 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nNaseemullah 2023 The Political Economy of National Development: A Research Agenda after Neoliberalism \nMonday November 2 (1-2pm UTC)\n \nGreen 2025 The persistence of the moneylender: How informal debt deepens financialization in the Cambodian countryside \nMonday December 7 (1-2pm UTC)\nTBD \n  \nPrevious sessions:\nSeptember 7 \nTo kick us off after the summer break we discussed why PE perspectives have become less prominent in development studies over time (and why it is important to bring them back) based on two short articles by Pritish Behuria who has been an active PE defender in discipline-wide “Future of Development Studies” debates. \n  \n\nBehuria 2025 Is the Study of Development Humiliating or Emancipatory? \nBehuria 2025 The case for structuralism: the selective amnesia of global development amid contemporary aid cuts \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings. \nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Mondays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nHow a Ledger Became a Central Bank: A Monetary History of the Bank of Amsterdam by Stephen Quinn & William Roberds (2023)\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1108706150/ \nFrom the description \nBefore the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England\, the Bank of Amsterdam (‘Bank’) was a dominant central bank with a global impact on money and credit. How a Ledger Became a Central Bank draws on extensive archival data and rich secondary literature\, to offer a new and detailed portrait of this historically significant institution. It describes how the Bank struggled to manage its money before hitting a modern solution: fiat money in combination with a repurchase facility and discretionary open market operations. It describes techniques the Bank used to monitor and stabilize money stock\, and how foreign sovereigns could exploit the liquidity of the Bank for state finance. Closing with a discussion of commonalities of the Bank of Amsterdam with later central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, this book has generated a great deal of excitement among scholars of central banking and the role of money in the macroeconomy. \nWe will discuss this book across three sessions. \n\n2026-09-14 — Discussion Session 1 (Chapters 1–3) (Recording)\n\n\nUpcoming Sessions\n\n\n2026-09-21 – 2:00pm EDT\n\nDuring the off week\, we discuss the 2023 BIS Working Paper 1065 “The Bank of Amsterdam and the limits of fiat money\,” by Wilko Bolt\, Jon Frost\, Hyun Song Shin and Peter Wierts \nhttps://www.bis.org/publications/working-paper-1065-bank-amsterdam-and-limits-fiat-money \nFrom the description: \nCentral banks can operate with negative equity\, and many have done so in history without undermining trust in fiat money. However\, there are limits. How negative can central bank equity be before fiat money loses credibility? We address this question using a global game approach motivated by the fall of the Bank of Amsterdam (1609–1820). We solve for the unique break point where negative equity and asset illiquidity render fiat money worthless. We draw lessons on the role of fiscal support and central bank capital in sustaining trust in fiat money. \n\n2026-09-28 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 4–6 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 4: First Steps\, 1609–1659 \n\n4.1 Debasement\n4.2 The Fed That Wasn’t\n4.3 Displacement\n4.4 Replacement\n4.5 Agio Anchor\n4.6 Conclusion\n\nChapter 5: Emergence of the Receipt System\, 1660–1710 \n\n5.1 Yet Another New Local Coinage System\n5.2 Deposits\n5.3 Receipts\n5.4 The End of Withdrawal\n5.5 Expansion\n5.6 Political Economy\n5.7 Conclusion\nA.5 Additional Details of Receipts and Master Account Credits\n\nChapter 6: Metal in Motion: The Mechanics of Receipts \n\n6.1 Transformations: 1711–1736\n6.2 Flows under Receipt\n6.3 Economics of Receipts\n6.4 Comparisons with Modern Repos\n6.5 Receipts within the Monetary System\n6.6 Instability\n6.7 Conclusion\nA.6 Categorization of Metal within the Bank\n\n\n2026-10-12 — 2:00pm EDT\n\nWe discuss Chapters 7–9 of How a Ledger Became a Central Bank. \nChapter 7: Two Banks and One Money\, 1711–1791 \n\n7.1 The Rest of the Story\n7.2 Strength through Unity\n7.3 Operations\n7.4 Monetary Control\n7.5 Loss of Control\n7.6 Safe Asset\n7.7 Conclusion\n\nChapter 8: Prussia’s Debasement during the Seven Years War: The Role of the Bank \n\n8.1 Beating the Dutch at Their Own Game\n8.2 A Change of Tactics\n8.3 War Finance\n8.4 Entrepreneurs’ Activity in Amsterdam\n8.5 Amsterdam and Prussia’s Gold Coinage\n8.6 The Great Unwind\n8.7 The Challenges of Reinforcement\n8.8 Conclusion\n\nChapter 9: The Bank’s Place in Central Bank History \n\n9.1 From Then to Now\n9.2 Creative Destruction\n9.3 The Two-Bank Solution\n9.4 Monetary Maps: 1750 and 1900\n9.5 The Once and Future Bank\n\n\nFuture Suggested Readings\n\n\nThe Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World’s Most Powerful Money by Brendan Greeley (2026)\nWell Worth Saving: How the New Deal Safeguarded Home Ownership by Fishback\, Rose\, and Snowden (2013)\nSlapped by the Invisible Hand: The Panic of 2007 by Gary Gorton (2010)\nThe House of Morgan by Ron Chernow (1990)\nA Study of Money Flows in the United States by Morris Copeland (1952)\nA History of the Greenbacks by Wesley Clair Mitchell (1903)\nCalming the Storms: The Carry Trade\, the Banking School and British Financial Crises Since 1825 by Charles Read (2023)\nBenjamin Strong: Central Banker by Lester V.
