From ancient currency to Adam Smith, from the gold standard to shadow banking and the Great Recession: a sweeping historical epic that traces the development and evolution of one of humankind’s greatest inventions.
What is money, and how does it work? In this tour de force of political, cultural and economic history, Felix Martin challenges nothing less than our conventional understanding of money. He describes how the Western idea of money emerged from interactions between Mesopotamia and ancient Greece and was shaped over the centuries by tensions between sovereigns and the emerging middle classes. He explores the extraordinary diversity of the world’s monetary systems, from the Pacific island of Yap, where value was once measured by immovable stones, to the currency of today that exists solely on globally connected computer screens. Martin shows that money has always been a deeply political instrument, and that it is our failure to remember this that led to the crisis in our financial system and so to the Great Recession. He concludes with practical solutions to our current pressing, money-based problems.
Money skips nimbly among such far-ranging topics as John Locke’s disastrous excursion into economic policy, Montesquieu’s faith in finance to discipline the power of kings, the social organization of ancient Sparta and the Soviet Union’s ill-fated attempt to abolish money and banking altogether. Throughout, Martin makes vivid sense of a chaotic and sometimes incoherent system—the everyday currency that we all share—in the clearest and most stimulating terms. This is a magisterial work of history and economics, with profound implications for the world today.

评分一直以来，我们长期接受的货币思维都是从政治经济学那里得到的。“长期的物物交换活动分离出了一般等价品，最后固定为金银，这就是货币。货币是充当一般等价物的特殊商品。”这种传统货币观点固化在大众读者的大脑，只有极少数接受过金融学的读者才对货币有另类的认识。 关于...
评分书中其实有两条线，一条线是货币导致金融体系甚至社会的不断变化直至今天的样子。另一条线是人应该要建立怎样一个公正的货币金融体系。 存在两种货币观，一种是“传统”上将货币当譬如金银一类的实物；另一种将货币看作可转移、用于记录和清算信用的社会技术体系。作者认可第二...
