Making smart economic choices is essential to living a healthy and successful life. But where can you find the keys to money success? The answer: in understanding the concepts, practices, and history of money from first principles.
"A History of Money" is your opportunity to finally replace misconceptions about money with hard facts in a narrative you can understand. In 29 in-depth chapters Money as Coin [from 800 AD], Credit & Banking [1100 to 1847], Inconvertible Paper Money [to current] - you'll learn: how money works in a 'simple' system with only silver coins; why banking and credit developed to supplement what basically became a silver/gold, or bimetallic, system; how the greater part of money supply in most countries now consists of inconvertible paper, or fiat, money.
Crafted with the needs of individual people like you and me in mind, "A History of Money" is the best narrative about your economic health - one that will educate you, motivate you, and reward you from the first principles of money.
Sincerely,
Ronald Grey
