End up... I had few dissatisfaction after went through the whole book. It is a book on the history of money. Yet, the huge dynasty of China was not mentioned even though the title stated that it is a story about “Money” throughout the ages. Come on, before WWII, monies was everywhere in China dynasty. Even though China was “closed” (not fully closed and not closed at certain dynasty) in a way during that long period, it is certainly part of the story of money. As such, the title itself a bit misleading. It should either be the stories of capitalism or the author might as well put a region on the whole story.
Apart from that small
flaw as mentioned above, I must compliment the author for providing readers a
detailed history of money. Overall, it
is a bit academically. However, the interesting part lies with the nature of
money. To me, anything about money is always interesting. As such, I personally
do not find boring in exploring the whole book. Rating wise, I am giving 6 out of 10.
A nice work by the late Robert Sobel!
