Money Is Never Just Money
Chapter 6 steps back from medieval Venice and asks a bigger question: why does money so often feel like guilt, sin, and death? Farrell builds on David Graeber’s Debt: The First 5,000 Years and Richard Seaford’s Money and the Early Greek Mind, then reframes both through the Topological Metaphor of the physical medium he developed earlier in the book.
