Synopsis
Sterling is both a highly entertaining account of the place of currency in our lives (& the different forms it has taken -- silver, gold, paper, plastic, electronic) & a painless guide to many aspects of economic theory. Perhaps more than any other European currency, the pound sterling has had an almost religious role in the nation s life. Its continued health, or indeed survival, is something about which many people care deeply. One of this book s purposes is to show that indeed sterling has had a central part to play in Britain s view of itself, but that, equally, sterling has always displayed a ruthless opportunism entirely compatible with its transmutation into the euro.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
