Money - The Shaper of Civilisation

Beginning with shells and stones as early tokens of trust, the book explores the rise of gold and silver as universal standards, the revolution of paper banking, and the global upheavals caused by inflation and debt. It then moves into the digital era, uncovering how Bitcoin, blockchain, and emerging crypto assets challenge traditional financial systems while raising urgent questions about power, freedom, and control.

Clear, compelling, and deeply relevant, this book offers a sweeping narrative of how money has not only reflected civilisation but actively shaped its destiny - and how its future may change the very fabric of human society.
