Money Matters: Navigating the Ever-Changing Landscape of Finance

Money Matters: Navigating the Ever-Changing Landscape of Finance traces the evolution of money from ancient markets to digital currencies with clarity, insight, and a touch of storytelling magic. Lindsay M. Thompson explores how wealth has built empires, inspired revolutions, and shaped the world’s collective dreams of prosperity.

Walk through the crowded bazaars of the Silk Road, where trade first linked distant worlds. See how the Medici Bank turned profit into power, funding art and politics across Renaissance Europe. Relive the frenzy of Dutch tulips, the rush for gold, and the birth of the modern financial order at Bretton Woods.

From Wall Street’s booms and crashes to the tremors of the Asian Financial Crisis and the collapse of 2008, Money Matters reveals a cycle as old as commerce itself greed, ingenuity, and survival. Now, as cryptocurrency and decentralized finance redraw the map, Thompson examines what this next frontier might mean for nations and individuals alike.

Richly layered and deeply human, Money Matters isn’t just about markets it’s about the values driving them. In the end, one question remains: what does money say about who we are?
