MONEY.
The object of our desires.
The engine of our genius.
Humanity’s greatest invention.
From clay tablets in Mesopotamia to today’s cryptocurrency, global economist David McWilliams takes us on an epic journey of innovation, disruption and transformation that is an astonishing new history of our species.
The question is, over 5,000 years, have we changed money – or has money changed us?

‘A cracking book that is as enjoyable as it is readable’
(Peter Frankopan, author of 'The Silk Roads')

‘An eye-opening history of what makes the world go round’
'If, as David McWilliams complains, economists take the fun out of money, then he is the exception that proves the rule: a man who could not write a boring sentence if he tried, and who, in this brilliantly informative and entertaining book, has done his subject splendid justice' (Tom Holland)
‘A breathtaking, expansive and imaginative ride through the history and future of Money from an author who truly understands it. If, like me, you’ve never quite figured out where money comes from or even what it is, this is the book for you’
(Professor Brian Cox)
(Professor Brian Cox)
'Equally entertaining and insightful' (Yanis Varoufakis)
‘A tour de force of economic history that manages to be erudite, authoritative and engaging . . . After reading this, you will never look at your bank account in the same way again’
(Gillian Tett)
(Gillian Tett)
'Pacey chapters make for a series of entertaining – and at times irreverent – tales which relay a story of money that we all should know!' (Linda Yueh, author of The Great Crashes: Lessons from Global Meltdowns and How to Prevent Them)
‘David McWilliams is the best explainer of economics I know. Here he explains the world through money, and it’s fantastically entertaining. He's the kind of writer who makes you feel clever, because he helps you grasp things you never understood before’ (Simon Kuper, author of 'Chums: How a Tiny Caste of Oxford Tories took over the UK')
‘A timely, fascinating account of how money has powered life on our planet from Ireland’s superstar economist. Money is so often shrouded in secrecy and manipulated by forces we barely understand, so it’s refreshing to read a book that traces our relationship with it with such healthy irreverence!’ (Mariella Frostrup)
‘McWilliams is charismatic, free flowing, unflaggingly engaging’ (Fintan O’Toole)
‘McWilliams has a great knack for bringing a complex economics story to life. He is also funny. In economics, that's a rare and persuasive combination’
‘Compelling, funny and original. If there's one person who can turn an economic history of the world into a page turner, it's David McWilliams'
