The Story of Money - From Bartering to Bail-Out

In the Yap Islands in the South Pacific it can be a stone with a hole in the middle. It can be a string of shells, a bundle of cloth or a copper slab. It's the stuff that makes the world go round. That doesn't grow on trees. That can't buy you love, apparently. This book explores the history of money from its earliest beginnings onwards.
