This accessible study explains the role money plays in trade and industry, and why its function matters to everyday life and global markets. It presents clear ideas from a historical and practical viewpoint, helping readers understand how money influences prices, production, and policy.
The book gathers lectures originally delivered for a popular audience, focusing on what money is, how it works, and how different forms—from coins to paper money—affect the economy. It covers questions like why certain money systems endure, how government issues influence value, and what the debates over bimetallism and fiat money mean for real-world trade.
