An Evening with David McWilliams: The History of Money: A Story of Humanity

Author, journalist, economist and podcast host David McWilliams joins us for an evening of conversation in the JL Greene Theatre on Monday, November 17 to launch his latest book The History of Money, followed by a book signing and reception in the Devlin Café.

In The History of Money, McWilliams takes us across the world, from the birthplace of money in ancient Babylon to the beginning of trade along the Silk Road, from Marrakech markets to Wall Street. Along the way, we meet a host of innovators, emperors, frauds, and speculators, who have disrupted society and transformed the way we live. Filled with memorable anecdotes, and with a foreword by Michael Lewis, The History of Money is an essential, extremely readable history of humanity’s most consequential invention.
