Alla Semenova on the Origins of Money

Alla Semenova (who currently appears to be a Visiting Instructor in Economics at Dickinson College; see Semenova 2011: 376, n.) is the author of this very interesting PhD from the University of Missouri-Kansas City:

Semenova, Alla. 2011. The Origins of Money: Evaluating Chartalist and Metallist Theories in the Context of Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia, PhD dissert. University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas City, Missouri.

I am currently reading this, and it is a very useful work.

This is a good starting point for anyone wishing for a specialist treatment of the origins of money from the heterodox economics perspective. The bibliography is also up-to-date and valuable.
