"That Costs Two Shells: The History of Money" by Brian Jensen explores the fascinating evolution of money from its earliest forms to modern financial systems. The book delves into the various materials and concepts used as currency throughout history, including barter systems, precious metals, and digital currencies. By highlighting significant historical milestones, cultural shifts, and economic theories, Jensen illustrates how money has shaped societies and influenced human behavior. This engaging narrative not only educates readers about the complexities of monetary systems but also invites them to reflect on the future of money in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
