+1. You beat me to posting it. As you rightly pointed out it’s not an easy read.

I also recommend “The Invention of Coinage and the Monetization of Ancient Greece”. It succinctly covers second order effects of money. I got a good understanding of histories of phenomena that we take for granted such as salary. It’s fascinating to read about the transition.

As a meta, I’ve been fortunate to witness a similar momentous transition computers and internet/communication. I wonder what other transition we are going through right now.
