“How Much Is Money Worth?” takes us through the history of currency, back from when humans used seashells to make their purchases, to today, a time where we purchase things without trading a physical form of currency at all. More than a history of money, this book explores the concept of money from physical object to abstraction. Today, the level of abstraction has reached a new height--as many people are using credit cards and engaging in online transactions. The latest is e-money, taking the place of paper money altogether. This book suits a unit on economics, world history, and cultural studies in general.
