Book Synopsis
From colonial history to the present, Americans have passionately, even violently, debated the nature and the character of money. The author provides a deep history and a penetrating analysis of American thinking about money and the ways that this ambivalence unexpectedly intertwines with race.

Trade Review
"Michael O'Malley's new book is a magnificent piece of scholarship on a topic that is at once timely and surprising. He shows our twin national obsessions - money and race - dancing together across economic policy reports, the pages of literary fiction, the stage, the screen, and the airwaves. I recommend this book wholeheartedly." (Benjamin Reiss, Emory University)"
