Along the same vein, I can't recommend The Bitcoin Standard (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36448501-the-bitcoin-sta...) enough. The first 60% of the book deals with the creation and characteristics of fiat money and its effect in the World's economy.

The portion of the book on the history of money has very few references for its claims and makes numerous factual errors. If you’re looking for a well referenced book on the history of money, this is not the book.
