Money plays a very powerful role in the way societies are organized and how economies are organized. This course provides an overview of banks and money. We will learn about the folly or genius of innovations both old and new: how money may be reshaped, implications and challenges, what reshaping may mean to you, and how the reshaping of money is quietly becoming a significant part of our daily lives.
