Making Money

Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism

Beschreibung

In this revisionist history of the development of the modern monetary system, Desan argues that money effectively creates economic activity rather than emerging from it. Her account demonstrates that money's design has been a project central to governance and formative to markets.
