Abstract

The article focuses on some aspects of the debate over the evolution of the payment system. The work examines in depth the theoretical streams of two groups: the scholars maintaining the need to establish a regime of free-banking against those who consider the role of the central bank untouchable. A clearer idea of the effective magnitude of the evolution of the payment system may be obtained by shifting the focus from the model of an exchange economy to that of a monetary production economy, upheld by scholars whose position is similar to that of a number of heterodox economists, as well as of Keynes.
