On the Role of Money in an Economy

Hi all!

This morning I read an article about a judge who didn't consult economists before deciding that Bitcoin was far from money and ruling accordingly, so I figured it would be useful to give you some articles that serve as a refresher on the meaning and role of money in the economy.  :)

Cheers,
Jodi
