From primitive man's cowrie shells to the electronic cash card, from the markets of Timbuktu to the New York Stock Exchange, The History of Money explores how money and the myriad forms of exchange have affected humanity, and how they will continue to shape all aspects of our lives--economic, political, and personal.

This book is provides an interesting history of the evolution of currency and the effects of money-use on the civilizations that used them. The beginning was a bit slow and felt like an extended historical introduction (I actually stopped listening for a while before coming back to the book), but once I got past the first section, the story was very engaging and produced many interesting facts, histories, and a new perspective on modern day finance. 4 out of 5 due to the slow start, but very good for someone curious to know more about the basics of money history and some economics.

Interesting and informative!

What did you love best about The History of Money?

The family or system control of money over the ages. Good big picture book. Just remember to read as many big picture books as you can since they are theoretical not 100 percent truth. Still, you can learn a lot from this book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

history chain

Any additional comments?

The history of money from ancient times to 1997. We learned many new things.

It was quite a good read.

Pretty Darned Interesting

The book was written in the mid-nineties, so some of the predictions seem dated. *However* the history is very good and well worth the read. I enjoyed the breadth of the topic and the author did a nice job of organizing the work. Recommended.

Very good history; older text

Would you listen to The History of Money again? Why?

The author did a fantastic job of making a very dry subject interesting, with obscure anecdotes from all eras of history. I do in tend to listen to it again.

Would you recommend The History of Money to your friends? Why or why not?

I recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by mankind's history of commerce, and how it evolved.

Which scene was your favorite?

It is a history.

Any additional comments?

One major flaw is that the author has not released a revised edition. The last three chapters are embarrassingly outdated, referring to things that 'might happen in the 21st century,' most of which have already, or are in the process of happening. Some of his speculations are off track, like an old scifi book. If he rewrote the last three chapters, I think it would expand to 10 more, and I would love to hear his treatment of cybercurrency. I am certain those chapters would be as riveting as the first 19.

Fascinating listening, but outdated

I loved this audiobook. It has a wealth of history not just about money, but also of the world. Any book that elucidates your understanding of history is a great asset in my opinion. It was interesting to learn about the Roman empire, the knights templar, etc. all in relation to money. Narration was great also.

Loved it
