About this book

Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism by Desan, Christine. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780198709572.

In this revisionist history of the development of the modern monetary system, Desan argues that money effectively creates economic activity rather than emerging from it. Her account demonstrates that moneys design has been a project central to governance and formative to markets.
