Greenback by Jason Goodwin
This is the story of the dollar, inextricably linked with that of the United States of America itself - from the Wild-West wild cat banks to Wall Street. The author traces this rollercoaster of a currency, delving into its murky past and uncovering how it became America's potent symbol and the most popular man-made product ever.
Jason Goodwin is a historian, journalist and travel writer. He is the author of THE GUNPOWDER GARDENS: TRAVELS THROUGH INDIA AND CHINA IN SEARCH OF TEA, ON FOOT TO THE GOLDEN HORN: A WALK TO ISTANBUL, and LORDS OF THE HORIZON: A HISTORY OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.
