The importance of money in our lives is readily apparent to
everyone--rich, poor, and in between. However grudgingly,
most of us accept the expression "Money makes the world go
round" as a universal truth. We are all aware of the power
of money--how it influences our moods, compels us to take
risks, and serves as the yardstick of success in societies
around the world. Yet because we take the daily reality of
money so completely for granted, we seldom question how and
why it has come to play such a central role in our
lives.
In Coined: The Rich Life of
Money And How Its History Has Shaped Us, author Kabir
Sehgal casts aside our workaday assumptions about money and
takes the reader on a global quest to uncover a deeper
understanding of the relationship between money and
humankind. More than a mere history of its subject,
Coined probes the conceptual origins and evolution of
money by examining it through the multiple lenses of
disciplines as varied as biology, psychology, anthropology,
and theology. Coined is not only a profoundly
informative discussion of the concept of money, but it is
also an endlessly fascinating and entertaining take on the
nature of humanity and the inner workings of the mind.
