Résumé
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 this epic journey, 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 5,000 years, have we changed money or has money changed us ?
