Description
With clarity and humor, Martin Jenkins and Satoshi Kitamura take readers on an interesting tour of the history of cash.
What can take the type of a stone with a hole within the middle, a string of shells, a piece of paper, or a plastic card? The solution is money, of course. But if did we commence the usage of it? And why? What does money have to do with writing? And how do taxes and interest work? From the Stone Age to brand new banking, this lighthearted and engaging account traces the history of the stuff that makes the arena go round.
