Summary:Money is more than just a medium of financial exchange: across time and place, it has performed all sorts of cultural, political, and social functions.

The fascinating studies gathered here collectively demonstrate money’s vast symbolic and practical significance, from its place in debates about religion and the natural world to its central role in statecraft and the formation of national identity
