What Is Money?: A Brief History of Value, Trade, and Trust
What Is Money?
A Brief History of Value, Trade, and Trust
From ancient Sumerian grain tablets to Roman coins, paper bills, digital wallets, and blockchain-What Is Money? is the clearest, most explosive breakdown of the one system we all live inside... and almost never question.
This book doesn't just explain money. It exposes it.
Inside, you'll discover:
Why gold was never about value-it was about worship
How paper promises replaced vaults of truth
The role of kings, gods, banks, and empires in shaping what we spend
Why fiat currency is a magic trick-powered by belief
How credit, code, and crypto are rewriting the entire game
And what the future of value might look like (if we're brave enough to choose)
This is not a finance book.
It's a reality reset.
