-Titulo Original : Coined The Rich Life Of Money And How Its History Has Shaped Us
-Fabricante :
Grand Central Publishing
-Descripcion Original:
A New York Times and Wall Street Journal BestsellerFrom New York Times bestselling author Kabir Sehgal, an informative, rousing, surprising history of the one thing that makes the world go round: money.The importance of money in our lives is readily apparent to everyone--rich, poor, and in between. However grudgingly, we are all aware of the power of money--how it influences our moods, compels us to take risks, and serves as the yardstick of success in societies around the world. Yet because we take the daily reality of money so completely for granted, we seldom question how and why it has come to play such a central role in our lives.In Coined: The Rich Life of Money And How Its History Has Shaped Us, author Kabir Sehgal casts aside our workaday assumptions about money and takes the reader on a global quest to uncover a deeper understanding of the relationship between money and humankind. More than a mere history of its subject, Coined probes the conceptual origins and evolution of money by examining it through the multiple lenses of disciplines as varied as biology, psychology, anthropology, and theology. Coined is not only a profoundly informative discussion of the concept of money, but it is also an endlessly fascinating and entertaining take on the nature of humanity and the inner workings of the mind. Review Simply relax and float along the current with Sehgal, and find yourself in the Galapagos, the Federal Reserves gold vault, a neuroscience lab or ancient Mesopotamia, all the while having no idea where you are headed next...Sehgal is a tireless and eloquent guide, and knows just how long to stay at each stop. --Financial TimesCoined is that rare book indeed - a fun romp through the history of human exchange, taking up the subject of money in its physical, psychological, philosophical, and historical forms. Like Salt, the topic serves not as a lens that narrows, but as a backdrop for a panoramic viewpoint, sparkling writing, and an exploration of a world you may never have known existed.--Rachel Kleinfeld, Senior Associate, Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceKabir Sehgal has done us a great service in writing this book. He has presented in this book everything that money has meant to people over the centuries and with a multidimensional perspective. He has prepared the ground for us to take it forward, to give new meaning to money, to assign it new roles in our lives, and imagine the future of money as a foundation upon which we can build the future of the world we all cherish. Thank you, Kabir.-Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Founder of Grameen Bank (from foreword)Coined doesnt resemble any of the usual text books on money. For one thing, its actually fun to read--and Kabir Sehgal will stimulate your thinking about our financial crisis and banking.-Paul Volcker, Former Chair of the Federal ReserveAn exceptional examination of the history of money. Kabir has written an engaging narrative that spans thousands of years and introduces readers to important people who have impacted the chronicle of currency.-Jimmy Carter, Former US PresidentThe best things in life are free, but ever since civilization began money has had a profound impact on humanity. Kabirs book brings the story of currency to life and is worth spending a few of your hard-earned coins on.-Sir Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin GroupWell-written. Clever. Innovative.
