SVENSKA
LETTER FROM A READER
Micke Blomkvist, Stockholm
" I want to start by telling you that I am no economist, neither do I have academic background or any "higher education". Rather I could probably be described as an interested and relatively conscious, ordinary worker.
Despite this, I think your book is very clear and good. It is pedagogical, confrontative, inormative and above all very interesting. I have read it two times tonighst and will definitely read it a few times more so that the text really sinks in."
FROM THE FOREWORD
by Ralf Eriksson, Associate Professor in Economics
" Money Power is very comprehensive in its scope and truly looks beyond prevailing conventions in comparison to traditional monetary theory. Boman’s work is original and critical, refusing to bow to established authorities. ... The literature is also original and sometimes gives a feeling of reading a detective novel ...
The review of activity behind the curtains of the monetary system, chiefly in the United States, seems to point towards a very consciously created, centralised structure in which a few decision makers are seated as the spider in the web. One might be tempted to disregard the idea as conspiracy theory but clear statements from insiders indicate that this is not the case. Despite the work’s bold thrust and the enormous range of the field, Boman manages to keep his feet firmly on the ground. ...
The central achievement of Money Power is to expose this blind spot and the research frontier is wide. Its base point is democratic, if not revolutionary, in several regards. Firstly, it reveals the hidden realm of the banking sector; secondly, it illuminates possibilities for alternative, ‘competing’ monetary systems in contrast to the current monolithic monetary culture.
The book has an exceptional language, especially given that the field is pervaded by some of the oldest and most conventional vocabularies that are to be found within the economic sciences. The text flows gently, is easily understood and at times reading the work is a pure pleasure of innovative thinking.
Money Power is a bold and original contribution to a field that is perceived in mainstream texts as being near to self-evident and unproblematic. Instead, Boman shows that it is characterised by contradictory dimensions and points towards interesting areas for further research. "
