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?
