In The Currency of Empire, Jonathan Barth explores the intersection of money and power in the early years of North American history, and he shows how the control of money informed English imperial action overseas. The export-oriented mercantile economy promoted by the English Crown, Barth argues, directed the plan for colonization, the regulation of colonial commerce, and the politics of empire. The imperial project required an orderly flow of gold and silver, and thus England's colonial regime required stringent monetary regulation.

THE OPTIMISTIC BOOK PEOPLE HAND TO SOMEONE WHO’S AFRAID OF AI. In 1920s England if you wanted to be woken up on time to get to your job at the factory, you had to hire a ‘knocker-upper’—a guy who drags a big wooden stick around town and knocks on your window. Then, the alarm clock arrived, and the knocker-uppers were left asking, ‘what are we worth now?’ Now, AI is here to do the same thing the alarm clock did to the knocker-uppers, but this time it’s the doctors, lawyers, accountants, designers, developers, teachers and business owners. It’s every job that can be done on a computer.
