Chapter Chapter 1 in Money Matters, 2022, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Among the many peculiarities of economics as an academic discipline, the following may be the most curious one. Economics is understood by the non-specialist as a subject deeply concerned with money and money-related phenomena. Which experts are sought by the media to comment on problems of inflation, debt, or financial crises? Economists, of course. At the same time, and unbeknown to the general public, a firmly held conviction runs across the corpus of scholarly work in the discipline. This conviction, so fundamental that a majority of economists hardly ever ponders its validity, is the idea that, except for some superficial considerations, money does not matter.
