"Money is a matter of functions four: a medium, a measure, a
standard, a store." But money is always a medium of communication
too, whether about price or about political conviction and
authority, fealty, desire, or disdain. In a work that spans 4,500
years, 54 experts chart across six volumes how money has made "the
world go round" and capture money's complexities in both substance
and form. Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the
whole and, to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles
are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of
reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following
a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of
the six. The six volumes cover: 1 - Antiquity (2500 BCE-500 CE); 2
- Medieval Age (500-1400); 3 - Renaissance (1400-1680); 4 - Age of
Enlightenment (1680-1820); 5 - Age of Empire (1820-1920); 6 -
Modern Age (1920-present). Themes (and chapter titles) are: Money
and its Technologies; Money and its Ideas; Money, Ritual, and
Religion; Money and the Everyday; Money, Art, and Representation;
Money and its Interpretation; Money and the Issues of the Age The
total extent of the pack is approximately 1,680 pages. Each volume
opens with a Series Preface, an Introduction, and Notes on
Contributors and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an Index.
