المال: قصة إنسانية

_The greatest invention of humanity_ Money is everything. It brings freedom and takes it away. It inspires us and spoils us. But what is money? Is it the main obstacle to us achieving utopia, or is it the only constant that pushed us towards success? In his illuminating, entertaining, and often surprising book, economist David McWilliams charts the relationship between humans and money—from the clay tablets of Mesopotamia to the coins of ancient Greece, from mathematics in the medieval Arab world to the French Revolution, and from the emergence of the US dollar to today's digital currencies. Along this path, we meet many personalities who have innovated in the field of money, bringing about radical changes in society and changing the way we live. Like humanity, money is constantly changing, adapting to its times and circumstances. The question is: Over the past five thousand years, have we changed money or has money changed us? Money tells an amazing new story about our species. McWilliams takes the reader on an epic journey through the history of money, revealing its pivotal role in our society.
