The legal concept of money / Simon Gleeson.

Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2018.

1 online resource (256 pages).

Oxford legal research library.

This title focuses on the question of how money, the term to include coins, notes, credit and virtual currency, should be defined from both a legal and an economic perspective. As new electronic payment mechanisms proliferate, this question of definition is likely to become an important issue in global legal, commercial, economic, macroprudential and fiscal policymaking. The text re-examines 'money' in this context by identifying the role it plays in various transactions and to what extent, for example, cryptocurrencies and 'quasi-money' are interchangeable with, analogous to, or different from traditional monetary systems.
