The book presents a groundbreaking theory linking the emergence of coinage to the beginnings of rational philosophy in ancient Greece. It explores how the introduction of currency influenced economic practices and intellectual thought, suggesting that the creation of money played a crucial role in shaping philosophical inquiry and rational discourse. Through historical analysis, the author argues that these developments were interconnected, offering a fresh perspective on the evolution of both economic systems and philosophical ideas in the ancient world.
