Below is a list of articles, blogs and papers which detail the operational realities of our monetary system, the possibilities which those realities present for Policy-makers and the public, and the myths presented by the mainstream which obscure those possibilities.  I have tried, whenever possible, to include papers which are digestible for a non-economist.  These are academic papers and require some absorption of the terminology and terms.  This list is by no means complete.
