Abstract

This fourth essay carries forward the search for a normative empirical economics by focusing on the challenge of finding out just what could be meant by speaking of money as promise. While the essay does not blossom out into a wholesome precision and a serious development of the meaning of promising, it should lead you to a suspicion that the self-attention required to meet that challenge is a shocking lift of culture and education. The problem of the volume is to make that leading effective by you taking over the leading.
