Although all eyes have been on Southeast Asia since October, it's not the only game

The History
of Money : From Sandstone to Cyberspace
by J. McIver Weatherford
Paperback - 304 pages Reprint edition
(March 1998)
Three Rivers Pr; ISBN: 0609801724
Book Description:
Existing only by government fiat or popular consensus, money has been changed into
many forms over thousands of years. Yet it has always had what Weatherford calls a
"cultural configuration," meaning money exerts a social force beyond its
abstract value. As an example of the big picture, Weatherford discusses the displacement
of feudalism by commerce over the course of the Renaissance and illustrates this
discussion with arresting anecdotes, for instance, the immolation of Knights Templars,
whose banking assets were coveted by France's king.
