What exactly is money? Where did it come from and where is it going?
From seashells to smartphones, Money: The Shaper of Civilisation is a sweeping journey through the evolution of currency - how we got from primitive barter systems to blockchain technology. This book dives deep into the fascinating story of money, exploring how it has transformed societies, shaped empires, driven revolutions and influenced the very psychology of human beings.
Why did we switch from gold coins to paper notes? What really caused inflation to spiral out of control in some countries? Why was gold abandoned and why is Bitcoin now being called digital gold? Who created cryptocurrency and could it be the future of all money?
Engaging, educational, and often surprising, this book offers readers a clear understanding of:
The earliest forms of trade and tokens.
The rise of precious metals and gold-backed systems.
The invention of paper money and fiat currency.
Inflation and how it silently erodes your wealth.
The digital money era, from credit cards to Apple Pay.
The birth of Bitcoin and the crypto revolution.
This book explains how money evolved to meet the changing needs of humanity and why cryptocurrency may be the next great leap.
