Editorial Reviews
Review
A fascinating study. . . . It is . . . quite possibly the best study in the English language on the topic and, to those involved in banking, currencies, and anthropological facets of economies, should prove of unquestionable value.

Review
I enjoyed this book mightily. Not only is its topic--money in various manifestations--inherently interesting but the book is both theoretically innovative and empirically rich, as well as being well written.
