“The book consists of eight chapters and covers a great deal of ground … . The Monetary Turning Point is one of the first book-length treatments to approach this issue from a systemic point of view and one of the first whose approach accords with post-Keynesian and financialization theory sensibilities. … As Huber notes though, currently central banks are being cautious. Reading Huber's book may help you have your say.” (Jamie Morgan, real-world economics review, Issue 107, 2024)
