“Without money, the foundational basis of societies begins to atrophy. And by that, I mean that money is an anchor around which we base lots of other things.”
“Money: A Story of Humanity” attempts to tell the history of the world - from 18,000 BC to the present - through the medium of money. "Money has proved to be one of the most seductive and enduring ideas of the past five millennia," writes its author David McWilliams. In this podcast with Ian Kehoe, McWilliams, an economist, columnist and broadcaster, argues that money sits at the core of human evolution, shaping and moulding human, social, and economic life.
