Warren Mosler wrote:The purpose of this work is to clearly demonstrate, through pure force of logic, that much of the public debate on many of today's economic issues is invalid, often going so far as to confuse costs with benefits. This is not an effort to change the financial system. It is an effort to provide insight into the fiat monetary system, a very effective system that is currently in place

"through pure force of logic"

thomas sowell's book also famously had no equations

mosler does however contain facts and figures and also logical reasoning when trying to show how fiat money operates.

so far an interesting read either way.
