Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us.


Kabir Sehgal.  Published by John Murray 2016.  PB  x + 317 pages, which include a few b&w in text illustrations.
The blurb says: the author casts aside our workaday assumptions about money and takes the reader on a global quest to uncover a deeper understanding of the relationship between money and humankind. More than a mere history of its subject, Coined probes the conceptual origins and evolution of money by examining it through the multiple lenses of disciplines as varied as biology, psychology, anthropology, and theology. Coined is not only a profoundly informative discussion of the concept of money, but it is also an endlessly fascinating and entertaining take on the nature of humanity and the inner workings of the mind.

Cover slightly marked, otherwise internally a good clean copy.

The author, a graduate of Dartmouth College and the London School of Economics is a vice president in emerging market equities at J. P. Morgan in New York. He has served as a speechwriter on a presidential campaign. He is also the author of other books including Walk in My Shoes, A Bucket of Blessings, and Jazzocracy. A Grammy-winning producer who has performed with Grammy-winning musicians as a jazz bassist.

The viewpoint is that of an American hypersalesperson, but it is interesting.
