Felix Martin journeys from ancient underwater stone wheels to modern babysitting credits, spotlighting rituals of sacrifice in Greece, vampire squid of the 16th century, and even Rome’s own credit crisis. Each story uncovers how trust, power and innovation drive monetary systems.
Perfect for readers intrigued by economics, history and the hidden forces that govern markets, this book rearranges your understanding of money and its potential to do good.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
