But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal...

According to Jacob Goldstein, this made-up thing has evolved over centuries and takes different forms based on technological advances, the needs of society, and often the crazy ideas of outliers on the fringes. Told through witty, historical anecdotes, Goldstein demystifies this ever-evolving tool from the invention of the first coins in Mesopotamia, to how China invented paper money centuries...

Without knowing it, we are still...
