Hello,
I just put online with my friend Marie-Louise Duboin, her book "Mais où va l'argent ?", available in ePub or PDF.
Mais où va l'argent ? - Association pour l'Économie Distributive
It's a book studying the history of the money, its role in our society today, and making propositions for a distributive economy.
I'm sorry it's only in french.
The table of content translated:
