Well worth a read in my opinion:
Medici Money
(Banking, Metaphysics and Art in the Fifteenth-Century Florence)
- by Tim Parks
Topics include:
- family empire
- politics of city, state and church
- intersection: money, power, democracy
- banking and trade
- two currency system
- currency devaluation
It is so weird to me how much of what is written in this book and happened approx. 550years ago resembles some events today.
The question is:
Is the future gonna resemble this kind of events in a potentially hyperbitcoinized world or are they prevented by it?
