Summary:

A Cultural History of Money presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present. The set of six volumes charts how money has made the world go around over four millennia and how its multiple materialities and meanings have shaped, and been shaped by, the broader social and cultural world around it. 1. A Cultural History of Money in Antiquity (2500 BCE-500 CE) 2. A Cultural History of Money in the Medieval Age (500-1400) 3. A Cultural History of Money in the Renaissance (1400-1680) 4. A Cultural History of Money in the Age of Enlightenment (1680-1820) 5. A Cultural History of Money in the Age of Empire (1820-1920) 6. A Cultural History of Money in the Modern Age (1920-present) Each volume discusses the same themes in its chapters: 1. Money and its Technologies 2. Money and its Ideas 3. Money and Religion 4. Money and the Everyday 5. Money and Art (or Visual Representations) 6. Money and its Interpretation (or Verbal Representations) 7. Money and the Issues of the Age This structure offers readers a broad overview of a period within each volume or the opportunity to follow a theme through history by reading the relevant chapter across volumes. The full six-volume set, which is generously illustrated, combines to present the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on money in history.
