The Cohost Of The Popular Npr Podcast Planet Money Provides A Wellresearched, Entertaining, Somewhat Irreverent Look At How Money Is A Madeup Thing That Has Evolved Over Time To Suit Humanity'S Changing Needs.Money Only Works Because We All Agree To Believe In It. In Money, Jacob Goldstein Shows How Money Is A Useful Fiction That Has Shaped Societies For Thousands Of Years, From The Rise Of Coins In Ancient Greece To The First Stock Market In Amsterdam To The Emergence Of Shadow Banking In The 21St Century.At The Heart Of The Story Are The Fringe Thinkers And World Leaders Who Reimagined Money. Kublai Khan, The Mongol Emperor, Created Paper Money Backed By Nothing, Centuries Before It Appeared In The West. John Law, A Professional Gambler And Convicted Murderer, Brought Modern Money To France (And Destroyed The Country'S Economy). The Cypherpunks, A Group Of Radical Libertarian Computer Programmers, Paved The Way For Bitcoin.One Thing They All Realized: What Counts As Money (And What Doesn'T) Is The Result Of Choices We Make, And Those Choices Have A Profound Effect On Who Gets More Stuff And Who Gets Less, Who Gets To Take Risks When Times Are Good, And Who Gets Screwed When Things Go Bad.Lively, Accessible, And Full Of Interesting Details (Like The 43Pound Copper Coins That 17Thcentury Swedes Carried Strapped To Their Backs), Money Is The Story Of The Choices That Gave Us Money As We Know It Today.
