If you are just joining this series of articles I highly recommend starting from the beginning at The Definitive Guide To ‘Money’ so you don’t miss any of the juicy details.
Let’s dive in to a short history of money!

The best way to follow along with the ‘What is Money?’ series is by subscribing here on Substack.com. Each time a shiny new article is published i’ll give you a heads up via email, meaning you’ll never have to beat yourself up about missing out on our learning adventure.
It would also be amazing to bring as many people as possible along on this journey, so if you’ve been enjoying what you’ve read I’d super appreciate sharing it for more people to enjoy.
I love to get comments and feedback (positive & critical), so please throw your thoughts at the bottom of my articles to join the conversation.
