Geschichte der Wirtschaft

Money, banks, stock markets, and global trade are not as modern as one might think. Those who want to understand the connections should know their history. Nikolaus Piper, an economic expert and storyteller, takes his readers on an exciting journey through time, from the first barter trade in the Neolithic era to the controversial globalization. He provides facts and figures and introduces economic leaders and thinkers such as the Fuggers, the Rothschilds, Adam Smith, and Karl Marx. In 35 easily understandable chapters, the author narrates world history as economic history: engaging and knowledgeable.
