Pour book on the history of money? The current research paradigm asserts that the invention of the concepts of money and monetary standard would be the exclusive preserve of the Greeks of Asia Minor in the XNUMXth century of the ancient African era. Black Africa, throughout its history (Pharaonic and Imperial periods) would never have gone beyond the primitive stage of barter. If the colonial ideology had not already drawn its furrow in the conscience, such an assertion would obviously be perceived as exaggerated.
This book on the real history of money wants to show you that reality is much more complex and that you should always be wary of gratuitous statements from Western researchers who have lost all notion of objectivity. Because it is black Africa that inaugurated the very first economic-financial lexicon in human history and current modern terms have roots that actually come from very far away. We will not forget imperial Africa which was also relatively rich in financial systems. But it is now our task to bring the first two currencies in history, namely the Shâty and the Dében, out of the dungeons of our memory.
