Athenian Economy and Society: A Banking Perspective
Suspenseful! I didn't think you could say that about a book on history, since we all know the ending: we have banks, and a stock market, "Wall Street", etc. But leaning how it all started in Philadelphia (and was eventually continued in NYC) was really interesting. Looking forward to more from this author.
