Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing by Jacob Goldstein.

You might recognize Goldstein as the co-host of NPR’s Planet Money. Neal called it “a quick read: concise and easy to understand” that covers a vast history, ranging from the earliest coins to digital currency like bitcoin.
The underlying theme, according to Neal, is a five letter word: trust. It’s the solid foundation for every monetary form, one that is hard-won and easily lost.
You can hear Planet Money and How I Built Saturdays at 7 p.m. on MPR News.
