L. Randall Wray: The Value of Money: A Survey of Heterodox Approaches
Google LM generated podcast: This Levy Economics Institute working paper surveys heterodox economic theories of money's value, rejecting orthodox views linking it solely to scarcity or price levels. The paper integrates several heterodox approaches: reinterpretations of Marx's labour theory of value by Graeber and Foley; Keynes's liquidity preference theory as developed by Minsky and Kregel; and MMT perspective on sovereign currency.
