Book Introduction

Unraveling world history through human desire for money.
A look into the rise and fall of humanity through the flow of money.
A World History of Desire and Madness with Famous Paintings

From silver coins to cryptocurrencies.
From past to present, mankind has experienced various forms of money.
But no matter how the form of money has changed, there is one thing that has not changed.
It is the human desire for money.
"The History of Money in Pictures" is a book that started here.
Looking back through history, the emergence of new wealth has always involved human greed.
Moreover, in the process of acquiring that wealth, there was human madness, and that madness inevitably led to someone's sacrifice.
Humans have constantly sought to enjoy god-like power, seeking eternal life and wealth that God did not grant.
"The History of Money in Pictures" is a book that penetrates precisely this very essence of human nature.
If we follow the human desire for money, we can naturally accept the history of birth and destruction, suffering and war, destruction and creation.

Additionally, this book is organized to allow a more intimate understanding of world history by placing famous paintings that reflect the times in the right places.
By looking at paintings familiar to us, such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Böcklin, and Delacroix, as well as works that capture the spirit of the times, we can also understand the close relationship between art and history.
Let's unfold "A History of Money in Pictures" as if we were viewing an exhibition! Within it, we'll see the true face of humanity, and world history will no longer feel boring.

Money that has never stopped flowing since its emergence.
Let's understand humanity and see history from a new perspective by traveling back in time.
Then, we will also gain the power to predict the future through the present we are living in.
Where money reaches, there lies the future of humanity.
