Abstract: | The paper makes an unprecedented claim by identifying a significant relationship between money's (immaterial and intrinsic-worth-detached) essence and the measurement of inflation rates, on the one hand, and bubbles and private/public indebtedness, on the other hand. The inflationary potential of cryptocurrencies—among others: xenocurrencies and special drawing rights—is also analysed. Another added value is the consistently macroeconomic approach, which starts from the structural and interconnected mechanisms and then explains economic-financial crises and their increasingly common features. |
