This textbook is successful where Jevons falls. The author illustrates the evolution of money and credit by reference to the monetary history of this country, the salient features of which he points out. . . . The prevailing idea of the author is his opposition to any legal-tender law. He pleads for free as opposed to mandatory money. In applying this to our own condition, he presents in strong colors the arguments for a bank-note currency as against a government paper currency. . . . The broad standpoint the author occupies in discussing the currency problems, and the emphasis he places on credit and its extension, that is. on the close connection between the money and the banking problem, gives the book a peculiar value. Everything is centred about the distinction between an artificial and a natural monetary system.

William Arthur Shaws "The History of Currency, 1252 to 1896" is an essential exploration of the evolution of monetary systems, offering a meticulous examination of currencys socio-economic impact from the medieval period to the modern age. Shaw employs a rigorously analytical style, weaving together historical narrative and economic theory to illuminate the complexities of currency adoption, transformation, and regulation. His work is situated amidst the rising interest in economic history during the late 19th century, providing readers with a contextually rich understanding of how currencies have shaped human interactions and institutions. A prominent scholar in the field of economics and monetary history, Shaw was influenced by the economic upheavals of his time, including the Gold Standard debates and the emergence of modern banking practices. His extensive research underscores the need for a comprehensive account of monetary systems, reflecting his belief that understanding currency is fundamental to grasping broader economic trends and historical developments. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for historical accuracy, Shaw brings clarity to a topic often considered daunting. This book is highly recommended for historians, economists, and the general reader interested in the intricate role of currency in societal development. Shaws insightful analysis not only informs but also provokes critical thought about the future trajectory of monetary systems in an increasingly globalized economy.

This is an article written by Andrew Carnegie in June of 1889 that describes the responsibility of philanthropy by the new upper class of self-made rich. Carnegie proposed that the best way of dealing with the new phenomenon of wealth inequality was for the wealthy to utilize their surplus means in a responsible and thoughtful manner. This approach was contrasted with traditional bequest (patrimony), where wealth is handed down to heirs, and other forms of bequest e.g., where wealth is willed to the state for public purposes.

Never before in times of peace has the subject of money evoked the uncertainty it does today. Although, we live in affluence here in Germany, many people begin to ask themselves whether the value of our money is dwindling away. Cash seems permanently under attack as the media bombards us with theories on the End of Cash.Concerns about the future of money are not without basis: in many countries, massive restrictions on the use of cash have now become a reality, with India at the forefront. Overnight, 86 percent of their rupee reserves were removed from circulation and declared worthless - is cash in the eurozone next?What is the future of money - a means of exchange, anonymous payment or an opportunity to hoard wealth? How will we pay in the future? What forms will digitization open up to us? And what forms could be forced on us by the state or circumstances, such as a crisis or catastrophe? Are you prepared if ATMs or online banking no longer function?

The Financier, written by Theodore Dreiser, is a compelling exploration of ambition and morality in the context of early 20th-century American capitalism. The novel follows the rise and fall of Frank Cowperwood, a charismatic and ruthless financier, whose relentless pursuit of wealth leads him through a labyrinth of ethical compromises and personal tragedies. Dreisers naturalistic style is marked by his meticulous attention to detail, vivid character development, and an unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities of financial success. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing Chicago, the narrative critiques the American Dream, exposing the darker undercurrents of greed and corruption that often accompany the pursuit of success. Theodore Dreiser, a prominent figure in American literature, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences with poverty and societal inequities. As a key voice in the literary movement known as Naturalism, Dreiser drew from the socio-economic upheaval of his time, infusing his works with a sense of realism and a deep understanding of human motivations. His personal struggles, coupled with his observations of the economic disparities in society, served as a primary motivator for writing The Financier, positioning it as a reflection of Americas tumultuous relationship with wealth. I highly recommend The Financier to readers who are interested in a rich, unvarnished portrayal of the complexities of ambition and morality within the capitalist landscape. Dreisers nuanced characters and his examination of societal norms will resonate with those who appreciate literature that challenges preconceived notions and invites profound reflection on the human condition.
