I really liked this. It was super interesting. It's the history of finance basically. It's a little out of date because it only goes to 2008 when it was published. I'll stop geeking out now before you all get bored.

So far so good. I had the thought that in order to understand the financial system you needed to understand its history. This book has helped tremendously with that.
