Abstract

This is the final chapter of this book. In the preceding chapters, I have tried to explain the concept of money. I presented a brief history of money. I went over the various forms of money that humans have used over thousands of years of recorded history. In the preceding chapters, I have also shown how money affects the economy. In this chapter, I will make concluding remarks and present questions for future research.
