What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Irresponsible bank lending caused the crisis of 2008, and increased inequality dramatically. Bernanke’s Quantitative Easing rewarded banks, and increased inequality further. I agree with Coppola that the next QE should be for the people. Read this book to learn how it would work.’Steve Keen, author of Debunking Economics
‘Frances Coppola is a world expert on commercial and central banking. Her defence of “People’s QE” is a must-read for all those engaged in the debate. No one else could approach this subject more authoritatively.’Ann Pettifor, Director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME)
