This is a great book for anyone who wants to understand the origins of money and how it's been corrupted over the millennia. Now keep in mind this book was written in the 1980's so the numbers used are totally obsolete and so are some of the references used however the information is spot on.
Now this is a Christian finance book so it uses lot of biblical references. For some people this may be a turn off but by sticking to the Bible as the "authority" we are given some great historical references of the use of money from Genesis to the New Testament. One great insight is that coins and government issued currency was not even a part for much of the Old Testament. Instead of items like gold and silver had value based on weight. There was no central issuer of gold and . silver. However in the later Old Testament times and New Testament times we see how central governments were issuing currency. There is a lot of theological, spiritual, and moral consequences because of this.
The last part of the book may be the toughest for some people to read because the author has his own ideas on how to return America to honest money. I won't spoil it here suffice to say, to have honest money you need both lenders of credit and the customers to be honest. You don't get something for nothing.
