Money presents a perennial and formidable problem for economists like squaring the circle for mathematicians. Various monetary theories give clue of diverse aspects of the money phenomenon but there is no universal theory of money satisfying all claims. In recent years, there has been an obvious surge of interest in money theory and origin issues due to the emergence of electronic money, i.e. cryptocurrencies. Philosophers, anthropologists and sociologists, contesting the solutions offered by economists from various perspectives, all have their own answers to the puzzle of money, debt and interest but even on the economists' side there have never been any agreement on these issues.

We invite economists, philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, historians and all those exploring the phenomena of money and interest to take part in the Conference for discuss a role of money and interest in Economics and ethics.
