Description
A history of money and finance that challenges conventional views. William Goetzmann argues that the development of finance has been a driving force behind the growth of civilizations, enabling the movement of value through time and shaping the course of human history. From ancient Mesopotamia to imperial China, and from classical Greece to the New World, finance played a critical role in key moments of historical change. Goetzmann explores how financial technologies and institutions, such as money, bonds, banks, and corporations, have been developed, forgotten, and reinvented over time. He also considers the challenges we face today, including how to use finance to care for an aging population. By examining the evolution of finance across millennia and around the world, Goetzmann sheds new light on its impact on human societies and our understanding of the future.
