Book excerpt: An inquiry carried out by three economists (Boyer-Xambeu, Ghislain Deleplace, and Lucien Gillard) into the historical origins of modern monetary systems. These origins can be traced back to sixteenth- century Europe, where, for the first time, central money issued by princes and bank money issued by exchange bankers intersected. The result was a system that functioned on an international scale and covered all of western Europe. Translated from the French by Azizeh Azodi, with a foreword to the American edition by Charles P. Kindleberger. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
