Georg Friedrich Knapp (German: [knap]; 7 March 1842 – 20 February 1926)^[2] was a German economist who in 1905 published The State Theory of Money, which founded the chartalist school of monetary theory, which argues that money's value derives from its issuance by an institutional form of government rather than spontaneously through relations of exchange.
