<p>I just finished reading &quot;Where does money come from?&quot; (Ryan-Collins) on how commercial banks create the bulk of the money supply, and I am still hungry for more material that will help me understand things like the role of the central-bank and the government in creating money (both through money creation and public debt), the interaction between taxes, the money supply and inflation, and other related topics. I have a background in Finance but not in academic Economics. However, all suggestions are welcome. Thank you.</p>

If you have an interest in historical economics and the basis of modern economic theory there is no way around *Keynes – The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money*. Some parts might be challenging for contemporary readers, as we've moved past certain theoretical hurdles that were prevalent during Keynes's era.
