A Concise Economic History of the World by Rondo Cameron 

(Karen Armstrong, 87: "I am thinking of writing a book about God and money. Cameron's is just one of the economic histories that I have been reading lately. I am struck by the fact that the desire to accumulate wealth and improve our material circumstances may be one of the most basic human imperatives, second only to sex. What does that tell us about our species? I am also intrigued by the fact that every single one of the major faith traditions practiced by human beings today had its roots in an early market economy and developed in a symbiotic relationship with early capitalism, trying in some way to mitigate the ill-effects of our aggressive acquisitiveness, either by such disciplines as yoga (which originally tried to mitigate the roots of greed and 'grasping' in the human psyche) or by trying, as in the three monotheisms, to mitigate the social ills attendant upon capitalism.")
