BROKEN MONEY
WHY OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS FAILING US AND HOW WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER
LYN ALDEN
A Comprehensive Overview of the Past, Present, and Future of Money
Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications.
From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the reader through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages.
