Description
Situates changes in the nature of money and the rise of sophisticated financial structures at the centre of the Enlightenment. This work argues that paper credit instruments were causal - critical to the larger epistemological and psychological changes associated with the Enlightenment's reconstruction of value.
Reviews'A bold, stimulating and "valuable" book that convincingly shows how a financial revolution both reflected and stimulated fundamental change.'- John Dixon, Eighteenth-Century Scotland
