Money (Vintage Minis)

It's what I expected.

Good!

An economic and well crafted history of the past development of money, slightly mis-alloyed to his eye-poppingly frightening vision of the future. This essay of two parts is excerpted from Harari’s other works. Written in the author’s spare but compelling prose, it is a joy to read. A great introductory essay though the two halves are clumsily attached.

An interesting, historical story about money, trade and empires gives way to a dystopian future.I plan to read both Sapiens and Homo Deus to get more context.

The best reading about history of money, credit an economics.Not only that but also an overview of the future of humans.You must read it!

Excelente, este libro nos abre una ventana hacia una perspectiva poco explorada de cómo entender los posibles desenlaces que traerá en el futuro los avances de la ciencia y la tecnología.

This short book describes the history of money and how it may evolve in the future. Addresses how we as humans may (not) fit in.

Good buy. BEST AUTHOR!!

Me costó 55 pesos. Yuval presenta u a breve historia sobre el dinero y nos ofrece algunas preguntas sobre el futuro de la humanidad.

This book has totally blown my mind. The chapters about algorithms and future developments has really got me thinking about the progress made in the World. Well worth reading as it is very educational.

Starting with the basics, Harari takes the reader to the future amazing, stunning, grossly unequal world of algorithms and algorithms that created few superhuman and rest mass of 'useless' people. Already approaching my mid-eighties, I feel happy that I will not be a witness to that world. He takes a non-technical reader smoothly through the AI-robotics-biology-genetics led world round the corner. A world providing unthinkable comfort. But also that world creating exclusivity to a point where the promised land would be appropriated by and will belong to a few. And the momentum towards that world is evident now, and with gathering speed, almost unstoppable. A must-read for all. Liberals and conservatives alike.

En bon etat

It’s a good book. All the themesinside had been written on the others 3 books from the same author. The economic stuff had been written on his books before. Adam Smith’s Book explain way way better the meaning and the history of money. For a short and superficial reading this book achieve the goal, for something more profound recommend the first two books of this same author and the Adam’s Smith classic Wealthy of Nations.
