A History of Money looks at how money as we know it developed
through time. Starting with the barter system, the basic function
of exchanging goods evolved into a monetary system based on coins
made up of precious metals and, from the 1500s onwards, financial
systems were established through which money became intertwined
with commerce and trade, to settle by the mid-1800s into a stable
system based upon Gold. This book presents its closing argument
that, since the collapse of the Gold Standard, the global monetary
system has undergone constant crisis and evolution continuing into
the present day.
