Georg Friedrich Knapp (March 7, 1842 – February 20, 1926) was a German economist and founder of the chartalist school of monetary theory, which takes the statist stance on money, claiming that it must have no intrinsic value and strictly be used as governmentally-issued token i.e. fiat money.
He is the author of The State Theory of Money (English translation 1924).
