Istoriia dollara - Gudvin Dzheison

With wit, insight and attention to detail worthy of Alexis de Tocqueville, Jason Goodwin, a Cambridge graduate, historian and writer, turns "The Story of the Dollar" into a true biography, strange, unpredictable, tragic and often frankly funny. This is the story of pioneers and adventurers, presidents and crooks, bankers and counterfeiters, artists, con artists, madmen, fanatics and adventurers. Goodwin weaves economic theory and folklore, historical anecdote, political philosophy and a true documentary detective into a fascinating and paradoxical book about how the history of one country became the story of its money.
