Reading this as well. I'm not cery far into it but it has been insightful already. It is always a bit shocking to recognizing something you were taught in school and didn't question turns out to be mythmaking, but it also feels good to critically revisit these topics. And the whole section about the origins of currency has delivered in this regard. [spoiler: early societies were much more complex and diverse than having a barter economy until someone was smart enough to invent currency to efficiently trade and establish a free market in the modern sense]

It also gives some perspective on fiat currency opponents, gold standard, bitcoin as a digital gold weirdos, since this has also been somewhere between more complex and a myth.
