The Secret Life of Money lifts the veils surrounding one of our most ubiquitous creations. Tad Crawford delves into ancient tales and modern events, from King Midas to the birth of the credit card, uncovering the sources of our firmly rooted and unexamined assumptions about money by laying bare its history, mythology, and psychology.
Crawford shows how dispelling illusions about what money does and what it has to offer not only will free our minds, but will guide us toward lasting values. And since so many human transactions are based on the exchange of currency, understanding our relationship to money can clarify our connection to other people and to our communities. The Secret Life of Money is a journey which will serve as a tool in interpreting how money talks and what it has to say.

Book Details
First Sentence
"IN THIS ERA of extraordinary inventions, many of our grandparents knew a world where horses reared at the first glimpse of an automobile, recordings of sound were a new marvel, airplanes realized the dream of flight, and radio, television, nuclear bombs, computers, and genetic engineering were obscured in the mysteries of the future."
