The Money Plot - Frederick Kaufman

Frederick Kaufman tackles the complex history of money, beginning with the earliest myths and wrapping up with Wall Street''s byzantine present-day doings. Along the way, he exposes a set of allegorical plots, stock characters, and stereotypical metaphors that have long been linked with money and commercial culture. The Money Plot offers a tool to see through the haze of modern banking and finance, demonstrating that the standard reasons given for economic inequality are contingent upon structures people have designed.
