Synopsis
Excerpt from Money and Civilization: Or, a History of the Monetary Laws and Systems of Various States Since the Dark Ages, and Their Influence Upon Civilization
Several years more were spent by the author in the endeavour to discern these missing factors, but without success. Turning with disappointment from the subject of money, he sought an explanation of the vicissitudes of civilization in the development of natural resources. To this period belong his Essays on the Resources of Egypt, Spain, Prussia, 850. In two years' time he had completed and published either in pamphlets or magazine articles the industrial history of twenty countries, tracing it from the earliest times to the present. The result was unsatisfactory. There was evident correspondence between civilization and natural resources but it was imperfect. The development of these resources was sometimes but not always aecom panied by social advancement. The influence of nature is to encourage improvement. That mankind had not always improved was therefore no fault of nature: the cause must be sought in some neglected institution of man. It must be money, and yet the author's researches had failed to sustain this conjecture.

Money and Civilization (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how money, often taken for granted, deeply influenced civilization. Before discussing civilizations such as those of Europe, Spain, and Japan, the author delves into a neglected period called the Dark Ages which, contrary to its name, set the stage for the rise of civilizations later on. The author goes on to scrutinize historical accounts and exposes the fact that "ingot coins" supposedly used at that time never existed. Instead, they draw attention to neglected institutions of human civilization and demonstrate the strong correlation between money, value, and the evolution of societies. The book demonstrates the importance of money and its role in shaping civilizations through detailed research, challenging common assumptions about the Dark Ages and shedding new light on money's historical impact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330961759_0
