When Money Dies

Adam Fergusson · 2010
88/100
👍 Worth It

Penny's take: This is the book central bankers keep on their shelf for a reason — Fergusson makes Weimar Germany's currency collapse feel immediate, with wheelbarrows of cash and a society unraveling. It's dense history, but it earns its cult-classic reputation.
