Eske Bockelmann: Money - Understanding Modern Society
Eske Bockelmann has written two books about money. Both go deep into the origins of today's credit money, show how the upheaval took place 500 years ago, what properties money has and what consequences this has had for society and the economy.

What can you expect in this course?
We use money so naturally that we hardly question what money actually is. Eske Bockelmann answers precisely this question in his book "Das Geld. What it is that controls us". On 300 pages, he describes in detail how societies were organized without money and how, in the course of history, what we understand by money today came into being. A workbook summarizes the extensive book and offers a condensed introduction to a complex topic.
