About this product
Product Information
Money makes the world. For millennia, currencies have brought order (and disorder) to human society, directing trade, growing economies, developing national identities and religions--and spreading empires. More than ever, money's power to shape our character, our politics, and our daily lives is clear. This revelatory history of ten major currencies details how the trajectory of world civilization is bound up with the movement of money. From the earliest measures of precious metals to the global fiat currencies we use today, the evolution of the shekel, the drachma, the denarius, the florin, the franc, the mark, the rupee, the yen, the pound, and the dollar tracks closely with the rise and fall of influential rulers, governments, and imperial powers. These coins have acted as powerful symbols of political expression and continuity despite deeply disruptive social, economic, and political change. Rich with illustrations from the famous collections at the British Museum and elsewhere, this book charts the fascinating path of each coin as it has traveled throughout history.

Reviews
Brower's well-written study offers a fascinating pastiche of glimpses into the French conquest of the Sahara based on hitherto unseen sources., Symbols of Power is a fresh account of the history and descent of ten currencies. And by approaching currencies rather than central banks, the book shows how the spontaneous market-order mechanism has evolved our money. The writing style is scholarly, clear, and makes for easy reading--the book is well aimed at its target., Symbols of Power is a fresh account of the history and descent of ten currencies.
