If you want to really understand modern money check "Broken Money" book.

  Given that almost nobody here is going to go hunt up the book and read it in order to find out why you think it's relevant, would you give us a TL;DR?

    The book goes over the history of human transactions from hunter gatherer to modern day and how currency or a ‘ledger’ has played a role in those transactions as civilization has progressed. The topic of inflation for hundreds of years and currency debasement is covered in detail and a common theme throughout the entire book. Overall I’d recommend the book, Lyn is a great writer. The end is definitely Bitcoin heavy but I still enjoyed it ( I do not own any cryptocurrency ).

      Lyn's research is top notch too. Keep in mind they were a bitcoin skeptic for a long time.
