These monetary forms had a significant influence on the ways in which money was understood throughout the period, and shaped discussions on such topics as the meaning of monetary value, the economic, political, religious, and aesthetic uses of coinage, the moral implications of usury and credit systems, and the importance of reputation, both at the state and individual levels. Crucial to the transformation of ideas about money in the period was the growing awareness that the individuals, up to and including the monarch, were powerless to overcome the market forces that determined value and directed the movement of goods and money. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, \u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Money in the Renaissance \u003c\/i\u003epresents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of technologies, ideas, ritual and religion, the everyday, art and representation, interpretation, and the issues of the age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Deng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474237096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474237093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Stephen Deng","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47611709489407,"sku":"9781474237093","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29259283-a7b0-4572-9700-5b2e7fde5ba7.jpg?v=1764515557","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cultural-history-of-money-stephen-deng-9781474237093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
