A Brief History of Money: 4000 Years of Markets, Currencies, Debt and Crisis
What do cacao beans, cowrie shells, paper cards, cigarettes and digital databases all have in common At some time, they have been used as a form of money. Money is an essential aspect of everyday life and something that we usually take for granted until it all goes wrong.
This book traces the role, growth and impact of money and finance on individuals, human civilisation and the type of economy we live in. The financial history of the world reads like a fascinating novel with innumerable twists and turns. We strive for financial stability and security, yet this often proves surprisingly ephemeral. Just as we hope we have reached a new plateau of prosperity, the financial system has a habit of throwing a wrench in the works, forcing us to change and adapt to new circumstances. This book traces the financial system from its birth as a credit system in ancient Mesopotamia, to the financial revolutions of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Why did the American forces desperately try to destroy money during the American Revolution Why do we tend to succumb to boom and busts And if inflation is bad, why is deflation even worse Also, the book looks at the effect money has on ourselves. Does money make us irrational Is money really the root of all evil, or should we celebrate money for its potential to create prosperity and overcome poverty
