“Hope is the expectation of a good that is not certain” (Kant, Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht 7:255). Read with rational expectations in macroeconomics, agency needs beliefs coherent with structure and resilient horizons for coordination and growth.

Private money? Should the government be so heavily involved in our monetary system? Do we even need a central bank? These are questions discussed in section 9 of my new “Money and Banking” chapter:
