This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Money – The Shaper of Civilisation is the story of humanity's oldest and most enduring invention: the systems we created to measure value, exchange goods, and build societies. From the first barter exchanges to seashells, stones, and metals, money has always been more than a medium - it has been the architecture of trust, power, and progress.
This audiobook traces the remarkable journey of money through history: the rise of gold and silver, the invention of banking, the collapse of the gold standard, and the illusions of inflation. It then explores the digital frontier - central bank currencies, cryptocurrencies, and the disruptive promise and peril of Bitcoin, alt-coins, and global digital finance.
At once historical, economic, and forward-looking, Money – The Shaper of Civilisation reveals how currency has shaped empires, fuelled wars, transformed societies, and is now being redefined in the digital age.
Whether you are a student of history, an investor, or simply curious about the forces driving our financial future, this audiobook offers a clear and compelling journey through the past, present and future of money.
