Lumii reviewed Money: The Unauthorized Biography by Felix Martin
Review of 'Money: The Unauthorized Biography' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Fantastic exposition and History
Reads like a novel! I’m very impressed with how the author took what could be considered a very dry topic and made it riveting.
Money as social credit is a powerful understanding.
On the one hand - it is encouraging that there are ideas out there already that could solve many of the current problems inherent in our system of banking and communal understanding of money itself. On the other, the task of educating everyone who needs to know this is a bit intimidating.
I highly recommend this thought provoking book. This and Debt: the First 5,000 years by David Graeber are completely fascinating strolls through history and monetary theory. For a contrasting ( and perhaps complementary ? ) view - I would also recommend “The Bitcoin Standard” by Saifedean Ammous.
