MONEY

di Jacob Goldstein (Autore)

Hachette Book Group Inc., 2026

The cohost of the popular NPR podcast Planet Money provides a well-researched, entertaining, somewhat irreverent look at money, a made-up thing that has evolved over time to suit humanity's changing needs. Money only works because we all agree to believe in it. In Money, Jacob Goldstein shows how money is a useful fiction that has shaped societies for thousands of years... from the rise of coins in ancient Greece to the first stock market in Amsterdam to the emergence of shadow banking in the 21st century. One thing they all realized: what counts as money (and what doesn't ) is the result of choices we make, and those choices have a profound effect on who gets result of choices we make, and those choices we make, and those choices have a profound effect on who gets more stuff and who get less, who gets to take risks when times are good, and who gets screwed when thing go bad. Lively, accessible, and full of interesting details (like the forty-three pound copper coins that seventeenth-century Swedes carried strapped to their backs), Money is the story of the choices that gave us money as we know it today. JACOB GOLDSTEIN is the cohost of NPR's Planet Money. He has written about money for the New York Times Magazine, and his stories air regularly on This American Life, All Things Considered, and Morning Edition. He previously worked as a reporter at the Wall Street Journal, the Miami Herald and the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. He is a graduate of Stanford University and Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
