Sinossi

Just as sterling appears to be about to end its one-thousand-year history, there can be no better time to understand its place and importance in British life. From its modest beginnings to its world dominance to its possible eclipse by the euro, sterling has created and destroyed fortunes, impoverished or enriched whole sections of the country and has made or unmade monarchs and governments. STERLING is both an entertaining account of the place of currency in our lives and a painless primerin many aspects of economic theory.
