ISBN: 9780395198438.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Most things in life -- automobiles, misstresses, cancer -- are important only to those who have them. Money, in contrast, is equally important to those who have it and those who dont. Both, accordingly have a concern for understanding it. Both should proceed in the full confidence that they can.\" So writes John Kenneth Galbraith in this book. In it he offers a broad, professional view of the working of money as illuminated by its history from the kings of Lydia down to he present turmoil. No one has ventured such a sweeping and comprehensive look at the subject before; certainly no one has brought to it such a combination of literary skill, historical knowledge and professional ecoomic competence. Henceforth all who speak on money -- and all who merely wish to know about money -- will have to read this book. And it will not be a chore. They will find it an interesting, amusing, and rewarding task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952237506613,"sku":"ByrdShop_0395198437","price":46.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780395198438_88c96ffc-904b-423e-89ab-3dd84a21ee94.jpg?v=1781318948","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/money-whence-it-came-where-it-went-9780395198438","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
