"Traces the historical evolution of humankind's relationship with money, from ancient times to the present-day revolutionary transformation in the meaning and use of money as represented by the electronic cash card, and discusses the implications of such changes."
"An extremely sophisticated international exchange, some basic facts have remained the same: We still exchange money for services and goods; debt is not a new concept; and money does, indeed, make the world go round."
"To give a comprehensive, engaging look at the history of the world in terms of our dealings with money and barter, wealth and power. From the markets of Timbuktu to the New York Stock Exchange, from the tribal man's hut to the modern corporate boardroom, The History of Money explores how money and the myriad forms of exchange have affected humanity. All aspects of our lives - economic, political, and personal - are influenced by money. And while we have progressed into."
"'Wir treten nun ein in das Zeitalter des Geldes' prognostiziert der amerikanische Anthropologe (vgl. BA 7/95) im letzten Satz seiner 'kurzen', doch weltumspannenden, an einzelnen Epochen ausgerichteten 3000-jährigen Geschichte des Geldes. Er meint damit die Ära des elektronischen Geldes und der virtuellen Währung, die als revolutionärer Wechsel auf die Zeitalter des Bargeldes (erste Münzprägung in Lydien) und des Papiergeldes (Einführung des Bankensystems und der Börse) folgt. Oft breit angelegt vor allem in ethnologischen Details, fundiert mit Quellenangaben, unterhaltsam und anregend in der Darstellung, z.B. im Hinweis auf Goethes 'Faust', bietet Weatherford ein lebendiges Panorama zur Währungs-Wende."

"Revolution occurred during the Italian Renaissance and eventually created the system of national banks and the paper money used for daily commerce. Now, on the cusp of the twenty-first century, we are undergoing another era in monetary history - that of electronic, or virtual, money. The new money will be responsible for radical changes in the international political economy and the organization of commercial enterprises. Weatherford weaves global stories and histories."
"Of all the changes that are rocking the world and promising to leave it a far less recognizable place, perhaps none is more fundamental than the revolutionary transformation of the meaning and use of money. As Jack Weatherford makes clear, we are already seeing the beginning of the third revolution of money. The first began with the invention of coins in Lydia nearly three thousand years ago and resulted in the original system of open and free markets. The second."
