Redefining the Commodity Theory of Money: From the Viewpoint of the Recent Unoist Approach and Japanese Debates on Credit Money

  1. Introduction Marx introduced money as the form through which commodities express their own value. Traditional Marxist economics assumes that money was gold, and after the suspension of convertibility, money became state fiat money. In contrast, unlike traditional Marxism , Unoists in Japan reconstruct Marx’s Capital logically in many respects , beyond textual interpretation . Regarding credit theory, Unoists emphasize the uncertainty of circulation, which leads to specialized capitals engaged in circulation, such as commercial capital and banking capital. They argue that even inconvertible credit money still has a basis in commodity value . This means that the salability of commodities gives rise to the value of money. Banks link commodity value with value of money. Thus, money gains access to commodity value, either directly or indirectly. In this sense, money remains commodity money, and is different from state fiat money. T his paper will give an overview of ...

Towards the New Theory of Commodity Money on Inconvertible Credit Money

Endogenous money supply theories have recently experienced a resurgence, but variance exists within these theories. We created a 2 × 2 matrix to analyze endogeneity and exogeneity across various money theories, with one axis representing the money supply and the other representing the logical generation of money. Many endogenous money supply theories consider inconvertible money exogenous, contending that money with finality is fiat money issued by central banks or governments. Nonetheless, some contemporary Marxian economists, particularly Unoists, argue that even inconvertible bank money remains credit money rooted in commodity value and is endogenous to the market economy. Banks issue credit money by lending or purchasing securities. Credit money is based on the value of commodities through the debtors’ assets. To explain such credit money in the value-form theory, Unoist scholars have recently proposed new value-form theories, including a claim to commodity set, as well as branch structure and polymorphism of money.
