"Noam Yuran's brilliant book offers a new point of view about the relationship between money and the desire for it. Arguing that desire is built into the nature of money and is not an external attachment to it, Yuran opens up new readings of Marx, Veblen, and Weber, and also gives readers a new perspective on the ways in which money can inspire excess and destabilize economies. This book will be of great interest to economists, philosophers, and social theorists.
"—Arjun Appadurai, New York University One thing all mainstream economists agree upon is that money has nothing whatsoever to do with desire. This strange blindness of the profession to what is otherwise considered to be a basic feature of economic life serves as the starting point for this provocative new theory of money. Noam Yuran is a lecturer at the College of Academic Management Studies in Israel and a research fellow at the Minerva Humanities Center at Tel Aviv University.
Bitcoin. Decentralized digital currency Bitcoin (abbreviation: BTC[a] or XBT[b]; sign: ₿) is a protocol which implements a highly available, public, permanent, and decentralized ledger. In order to add to the ledger, a user must prove they control an entry in the ledger. The protocol specifies that the entry indicates an amount of a token, bitcoin with a minuscule b.
The user can update the ledger, assigning some of their bitcoin to another entry in the ledger. Because the token has characteristics of money, it can be thought of as a digital currency.[10] The Library of Congress reports that, as of November 2021, nine countries have fully banned bitcoin use, and a further forty-two have implicitly banned it.[15] A few governments have used bitcoin in some capacity. Bitcoin has been described as an economic bubble by at least eight recipients of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[17] Design Units and divisibility The unit of account of the bitcoin system is the bitcoin.
Blockchain Mining. Home - Bitcoin Block Explorer. Conheça o Bitcoin, dinheiro virtual usado até em site de venda de drogas. O “bit” no nome Bitcoin não tem apenas relação com o fato de a moeda ser “virtual” – afinal, em uma época com tantos cartões de crédito e mais números em contas bancárias do que papel, a “virtualidade” do dinheiro não poderia ser um privilégio do Bitcoin. O “bit” vem do “BitTorrent”, uma rede ponto a ponto (P2P), sem um ponto central, em que essencialmente cada internauta participante tem o mesmo valor e é anônimo. O Bitcoin não tem uma central de gerenciamento, diferente das moedas como o real, que é gerenciada pelo Banco Central. Para garantir a segurança, o Bitcoin utiliza um complexo esquema matemático de criptografia.

In monetary economics, the quantity theory of money states that money supply has a direct, proportional relationship with the price level.
While mainstream economists agree that the quantity theory holds true in the long run, there is still disagreement about its applicability in the short run. Critics of the theory argue that money velocity is not stable and, in the short-run, prices are sticky, so the direct relationship between money supply and price level does not hold. Alternative theories include the real bills doctrine and the more recent fiscal theory of the price level. Origins and development of the quantity theory[edit] The quantity theory descends from Copernicus,[1][2] followers of the School of Salamanca, Jean Bodin,[3] and various others who noted the increase in prices following the import of gold and silver, used in the coinage of money, from the New World. John Maynard Keynes, like Marx, accepted the theory in general and wrote... "This Theory is fundamental. Where and , or. Money supply. Money supply data are recorded and published, usually by the government or the central bank of the country.
Public and private sector analysts have long monitored changes in money supply because of its effects on the price level, inflation, the exchange rate and the business cycle.[4] That relation between money and prices is historically associated with the quantity theory of money. There is strong empirical evidence of a direct relation between money-supply growth and long-term price inflation, at least for rapid increases in the amount of money in the economy. For example, a country such as Zimbabwe which saw extremely rapid increases in its money supply also saw extremely rapid increases in prices (hyperinflation). The nature of this causal chain is the subject of contention. In addition, those economists seeing the central bank's control over the money supply as feeble say that there are two weak links between the growth of the money supply and the inflation rate.
