Book Reviewed by Patrick Blair on June 24, 2026First Impression Versus Lasting Impression: I imagined the book to delve more into standard economic and political flaws associated with money, but the book takes a ground-up approach to describing money’s evolution as a technology. If you want to hear an interview with the author, here is a terrific one.The Book in a Word: (An Impressive) Tome.Summary: The book recounts and analyzes money’s evolution as a technology (to escape the inefficiencies of barter). It takes us from trading shells to precious metals, to paper money, to digital transactions, to cryptocurrencies. The book is essentially a history text or reference book. What I Liked the Most: The refreshing lens of looking at money as a technology. When asking yourself the question, “what is money?” Lyn Alden makes the answer simple: it is a technology. I also enjoyed the neutral/objective tone and hopeful outlook (at least compared to many commentators who focus on systemic flaws).What I liked the least: The length and depth of the book (because I can be a lazy reader). Really, you can skim or skip chapters to make it an easier read.Recommended for: those who really want to understand money on a deeper level (what is it … as opposed to merely how can I make more of it). This book is great for those wanting a framework for understanding the future of money (or even being a part of pioneering its future).Not Recommended for: those who want a short read, easy answers, or just want to hear complaints about today’s monetary system.Faith-finances.com Website Categories Covered: Personal Finance, InvestingReading Level: Basic … Intermediate … Advanced toScholarly.Interesting Concept: Money as a technology.Great Quotes: p.14-15 what makes good money; p. 494 good forms of cryptocurrency is positive and better than the system we have now; “… why money has been broken … while almost everything else has improved substantially …, it’s due to this gap between transaction and settlement speeds that the telecommunications era has created.” P.
