Money, in contrast, is equally important to those who have it and those who don't. Both, accordingly have a concern for understanding it. Both should proceed in the full confidence that they can.\" So writes John Kenneth Galbraith in this book. In it he offers a broad, professional view of the working of money as illuminated by its history from the kings of Lydia down to he present turmoil. No one has ventured such a sweeping and comprehensive look at the subject before; certainly no one has brought to it such a combination of literary skill, historical knowledge and professional ecoomic competence. Henceforth all who speak on money -- and all who merely wish to know about money -- will have to read this book. And it will not be a chore. They will find it an interesting, amusing, and rewarding task., ISBN13: 9780395198438 ISBN10: 0395198437 Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46124965068963,"sku":"CH_02-05-25_PHA_H00001UJ","price":48.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71JQ1k0BXXL_7f918a9c-0ac9-4d7c-adea-5a5ad3f755a6.jpg?v=1754834330","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/money-whence-it-came-where-it-went","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
