The book reconstructs the history of monetary crises with 20 portraits, from Solon, who cancelled Greek debt in 594 BC, to Roosevelt, who devalued the dollar in 1933. It covers Jean de Médicis, John Law and Félix de Parieu, and shows that confidence, more than metal, underpins the value of currencies, from the nomisma to the euro.
