Money is everything. It brings freedom and it takes it away. It 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's driven us to success In his illuminating, entertaining and often surprising book, economist David McWilliams charts the relationship between humans and money - from clay tablets in Mesopotamia to coins in Ancient Greece, from mathematics in the medieval Arab world to the French Revolution, and from 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. Like humanity, 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. _______________________________________________________ 'An impressive journey that fizzes with facts' ECONOMIST 'An eye-opening history of what makes the world go round' EVENING STANDARD 'David McWilliams is the best explainer of economics I know' SIMON KUPER 'Compelling, funny and original' KATJA HOYER 'If, as David McWilliams complains, economists take the fun out of money, then he is the exception that proves the rule: a man who could not write a boring sentence if he tried' TOM HOLLAND.…
