Money has a history spanning several thousand years and remains closely linked to each of us today. We all need money; it is impossible to imagine our lives without it. In this book, you will discover the full history of the evolution of money: you will learn about the objects that served as money and means of payment at the dawn of civilization, and how money functioned as a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a measure of value before eventually becoming a unit for calculating the prices of goods and services.
