I am currently reading the recently published book entitled “Money: A Story of Humanity”by David McWilliams. It could be a very dry subject but this is an eminently readable tome on not just how money in the form of coin came into use but the way credit developed to finance commerce.
It is particularly good on how the Roman empire developed due to financial innovation but how it later proved to be one of the causes of its downfall. An eminently readable book and a subject worth understanding for anyone who has financial investments.
