The Money Illusion: Market Monetarism, the Great Recession, and the Future of Monetary Policy is a nonfiction economics book by Scott Sumner that explains his market monetarist approach to monetary policy and uses it to reinterpret the Great Recession. Rather than focusing on finance, housing, or banking as the primary causes of the 2008 to 2009 downturn, the book argues that the central problem was a collapse in nominal spending and a failure of monetary policy to stabilize the path of aggregate demand. Sumner combines theory, policy critique, and macroeconomic history into a single framework aimed at readers who want to understand how money, expectations, and interest rates interact. The book is designed to be accessible to non-specialists while still engaging for economists, and it functions both as an introduction to market monetarism and as an argument for nominal GDP level targeting as a better policy rule.
