Traces the history of money, offering an insightful take on the causes of the current economic crisis. The standard version of the history of money states that it was invented as a replacement for the bartering system - but there isn't a shred of evidence to support this theory. Instead of being a modern disaster, money and debt has always defined societal behaviour.
