Popes and Bankers: A Cultural History of Credit and Debt, from Aristotle to AIG
As a cultural history of credit and debt, Cashill's book is impressive in scope, but suffers from the brevity with which he treats his historical subjects as he blasts through history in short chapters. There's no real critical engagement with quoted authors; instead Cashill colors the surface of his historical narrative with his own ideological brush, in a light, meandering prose. His failure to really engage the material he presents in any meaningful way is disappointing. The overarching narrative he constructs tends to be dominated by his interest in the roll Jews played in the history of credit and debt - how they've succeeded, been persecuted, yet still dominate finance. It seems a very personal book with a somewhat narrow focus on history. Although Cashill does find a few interesting historical tidbits to sprinkle throughout his otherwise bland book.
