Résumé

From the emergence of money in the ancient world to today's interconnected landscape of high-frequency trading and cryptocurrency, the story of finance has always taken place on an international stage. This atlas uses graphics and maps to bring the complex and abstract world of finance down to earth, showing how geography is fundamental for understanding finance, and vice versa. It illuminates the ways that history, laws, and regulations have influenced finance ; shows how finance relates to innovation, globalization, and environmental change ; and details how finance plays a key part in drawing the landscape of uneven development, inequality, and instability.
Atlas of Finance, with word and image, will change the way you view both your money and your world.
