MONEY.
The object of our desires.
The engine of our genius.
Humanity’s greatest invention.
From clay tablets in Mesopotamia to today’s cryptocurrency, global economist David McWilliams takes us on an epic journey of innovation, disruption and transformation that is an astonishing new history of our species.
The question is, over 5,000 years, have we changed money – or has money changed us?

Recenzii
‘A hugely ambitious, insightful and readable account of our relationship with money'
‘A cracking book that is as enjoyable as it is readable’
'If, as David McWilliams complains, economists take the fun out of money, then he is the exception that proves the rule: a man who could not write a boring sentence if he tried, and who, in this brilliantly informative and entertaining book, has done his subject splendid justice'
‘A breathtaking, expansive and imaginative ride through the history and future of Money from an author who truly understands it. If, like me, you’ve never quite figured out where money comes from or even what it is, this is the book for you’
'Equally entertaining and insightful'
'Pacey chapters make for a series of entertaining – and at times irreverent – tales which relay a story of money that we all should know!'
‘McWilliams has a great knack for bringing a complex economics story to life. He is also funny. In economics, that's a rare and persuasive combination’
‘David McWilliams is the best explainer of economics I know. Here he explains the world through money, and it’s fantastically entertaining. He's the kind of writer who makes you feel clever, because he helps you grasp things you never understood before’
‘A timely, fascinating account of how money has powered life on our planet from Ireland’s superstar economist. Money is so often shrouded in secrecy and manipulated by forces we barely understand, so it’s refreshing to read a book that traces our relationship with it with such healthy irreverence!’
‘McWilliams is charismatic, free flowing, unflaggingly engaging’
‘If there's one person who can turn an economic history of the world into a page turner, it's David McWilliams. This book makes a compelling, funny and original case for the idea that money does indeed make the world go round’
‘A tour de force of economic history that manages to be erudite, authoritative and engaging . . . His account is peppered with memorably colourful - and sometimes spicy - details that will grab the attention of experts and lay people alike . . . After reading this, you will never look at your bank account in the same way again’
'A fun history of money told through the stories of the chancers, cheats, scoundrels and geniuses through the ages who made it happen . . . We take money for granted. Not the amounts of it, but just the fact that it works. This book is a great way to figure out why, and how it shapes the world around us’
