Ask HK: Understanding money
I kindly request pointers to material that can help me understand money.
Videos such as http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=461720 explain some concepts but also include a load of inaccurate statements. What I'm looking for is an (hopefully) unbiased description of modern banking, finance and monetary systems, and how it all works together.
Note: I'm not entirely sure this is appropriate for HN, so please let me know what you think.

[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 15.0 ms ] threadA History of Money: From Ancient Times to the Present Day by Glyn Davies ISBN-10: 0708317170 ISBN-13: 978-0708317174
It's very well written, but it's not unbiased (Rothbard is a libertarian), so I would encourage you to read other books as well.
