Money - By Jacob Goldstein

My brother gave me this book as a gift. I've read it three times because it's so good. It gives a full and entertaining accounting of the story of money. It's weird to learn the history of money in the United States.

It provides tons of interesting background and an especially enlightening story about the Euro, which is the best explanation I've ever heard about why countries need their own currency to control their economic destiny.

If you've ever wanted to know the backstory of money, this is the book to check out. Highly entertaining and enthralling read.
