Money and the Metaphors of Power – with Joe Cribb

Published on: 24th March, 2023

When we say that money is power, what exactly do we mean? 

Anna Mahtani talks to numismatist and former curator of coins at the British Museum Joe Cribb about the past and future of money. From ancient Chinese coins to cryptocurrencies, what does the study of money tell us about our world and who has power within it?
