Reviewer comment
The book was written in 2008, at the depth of the financial crisis and
resulting economic recession. There have been many books written by authors
then and later in which they seeked to explain the causes of the financial
fiasco. The author has some interesting ideas and proposals based on his
personal career in the finance industry. But his discussion of the history of
'money' is very much faulty and based on ideas of history he reads in secondary
literature. He has published a new book (listed below) that expands on his
theories.
