Description
This lively history explores how money evolved from ancient forms of exchange into the complex financial systems that shape modern life. Drawing on fascinating stories of merchants, banks, governments, innovators, and economic upheavals, it reveals that money is less a fixed object than a shared belief and social technology. Along the way, the book examines trust, power, inequality, innovation, and the recurring crises sparked by attempts to create and control wealth. Clear, accessible, and richly researched, it offers an illuminating new perspective on one of humanity’s most influential inventions.
