Event description

Money makes the world go round

“Money can be more powerful than religion, ideology or even armies. Mess with money and you mess with far more than the price system, inflation and economics – you mess with people’s heads.”

Join renowned global economist David McWilliams to chart the history of money with his signature wit and unlock its mysteries and power: what is it, how does it work and why do we fight wars over it? From a tally stick in ancient Africa to coins in Republican Greece right up to the cryptocurrencies of today, uncover how the evolution of money has shaped our world. In conversation with Richard Holden.

NB: This is a free, virtual event at Parkes Shire Library and Cultural Centre. A minimum of six attendees is required for event to run.
