Money and the Making of the American Revolution
Against Definition
Defining money and making the definition stick are political acts with a history. Arguments about the nature of money are part of this process. The question of the fundamental basis of money in law, the state, or exchange is less about history and more about the present. Definitions of money have also marked the boundaries of our historical imaginations. Historians have long been interested in making definitions as accurate and rich as possible. …
Plurality, Entanglements, and Empire in Early Modern Monetary Relations

The American Revolution and Christine Desan's New History of Money
This essay argues that Christine Desan's Making Money: Coin, Currency and the Coming of Capitalism intervenes decisively in debates over the origin of money, while making a fundamental contribution to the legal history of money, the philosophy of money, and the history of capitalism. Desan shows money to be a mode of governance, created by rulers to extend their power, and maintained and managed by their successors. She argues that British politi…
