Money is nothing more than what is commonly exchanged for goods or services, so why has understanding it become so complicated? This book cuts through the confusions surrounding the subject to present a compelling and accessible account of a topic that affects us all. It tells the fascinating story of money, the key factors that shaped its development, the forces contending for control of money, and the lessons that can be learned from its history. The book describes the creation and evolution of monetary systems and explains how finance, credit, and banks work in the global economy. It also shows that, when it comes to money, nothing is truly new—least of all inflation and fraud. The book discusses the history of coins made of precious metals, the the history of paper money, the history of banks, and more.

MONEY

"Mrs. Bold has twelve hundred a year of her own, and I suppose Mr. Harding means to live with her."

"Twelve hundred a year of her own!" said Slope; — and very shortly afterwards took his leave ... Twelve hundred a year, said he to himself, as he rode slowly home. If it were the fact that Mrs. Bold had twelve hundred a year of her own, what a fool would he be to oppose her father's return to his old place. The train of Mr. Slope's ideas will probably be plain to all my readers ... twelve hundred a year ...
