_______________________________________________________
Money is the object of our desires, the engine of our genius, and humanity's greatest invention. It brings freedom and takes it away, inspires and corrupts us. But what is money? Is it the main thing holding us back from utopia or is it the one constant that has driven us to success? Economist David McWilliams charts the relationship between humans and money from clay tablets in Mesopotamia to coins in Ancient Greece, mathematics in the medieval Arab world, the French Revolution, and the emergence of the US dollar right up to today's cryptocurrency. Along the way, we meet a host of characters who have innovated with money, disrupting society and transforming the way we live. Money is ever-changing, adapting to its time and circumstances. The question is, over the last 5000 years, have we changed money or has money changed us? Money tells an astonishing new story of our species, taking the reader on an epic journey through the history of money. McWilliams reveals its fundamental role in our society.
