GREENBACK

A witty, sarcastic, and opinionated treatise examines the pecuniary origins of the good old USA and our nation's worship of the almighty dollar. The author explores the history of our paper currency and how it became the strongest, most sought after in the world. The "Veddy Brrritish" John Lee gives an excellent reading, always clear, always connected with his text, and always with just the right light, wry touch. Y.R.
