Money: The Unauthorized Biography by Felix Martin is a nonfiction book that combines economic history, political analysis, and institutional critique. Rather than treating money as a simple object such as coins, notes, or gold, Martin argues that money is best understood as a system of accounting, credit, and debt that only works because society recognizes and transfers claims. The book traces this idea across a wide historical range, from ancient civilizations and island currencies to modern banking and the financial crisis. Its purpose is not just to explain where money came from, but to challenge the conventional assumptions that underlie modern economic thinking. Martin uses historical examples to show that money has always been tied to power, state authority, and social trust, and he suggests that misunderstanding its nature has contributed to financial instability and inequality.
