Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us de Kabir Sehgal

Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us

Autor Kabir Sehgal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 ian 2016

Ceea ce diferențiază Coined de alte istorii economice convenționale este refuzul autorului de a privi banii doar ca pe un instrument de schimb. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Kabir Sehgal deconstruiește realitatea cotidiană a monedei, invitându-ne într-o expediție globală care depășește cifrele pentru a explora fundamentele biologice și teologice ale valorii. În timp ce majoritatea autorilor se limitează la evoluția sistemelor bancare, Găsim în această carte o analiză profundă a modului în care neuroștiințele explică reacția creierului nostru la bogăție și cum religia a modelat etica acumulării.

Ca și Jacob Goldstein în Money, autorul distilează experiența reală în principii acționabile, însă Sehgal plasează această cunoaștere într-un context mult mai vast. Dacă în lucrările sale anterioare, precum Himalayan Nights sau P Is for Poppadoms!, autorul explora identitatea culturală prin prisma tradițiilor indiene, în Coined el aplică aceeași curiozitate antropologică asupra motorului civilizației moderne. Considerăm că expertiza sa de fost vicepreședinte la J.P. Morgan oferă textului o rigoare tehnică rară, transformând ceea ce ar fi putut fi un eseu abstract într-o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea mecanismelor puterii. Ca și Anna Kassulke în Cooking the Books, Sehgal investighează natura mitologică a banilor, dar aduce un plus de pragmatism venit direct din centrul sistemului financiar global. Este o lectură densă, dar alertă, care schimbă perspectiva de la „cât avem” la „de ce ne pasă atât de mult”.

Descriere

Money isn't just coins, bank notes or clamshells; it is more than a store of value or unit of payment. It's an idea, a transformative player in how we view, cope, and harmonise with the world. Money isn't just what makes the world go around; it is largely what makes each of us go around.

In Coined, Kabir Sehgal travels the world while presenting a multidimensional portrait of currency through the ages. He explores the origin of exchange in the Galapagos Islands, searches for hoards of coins from an ancient civilization in Bangladesh, and learns about the art that appears on money from coin collectors in Vietnam. He takes you from the vaults beneath the Federal Reserve in New York to a beehive where pollen can be understood as a natural form of exchange. He details the birth of money, to its place in our culture, to how the obsession for it can lead to death and destruction, all the while mixing engaging and entertaining stories from the front lines of global currency exchange with extensive, thoughtful research. The story of money is rich and varied because it is our story.
