Summary: "The study of primitive money is not a mere matter of economics. It embraces the study of mankind from its remote past right to the present day. It is the study of the evolution of civilization from its earliest beginnings. For this purpose it is not sufficient to ascertain the economic factors which determined the progress of mankind or which were determined by its progress. The scope of the study of primitive money must extend over the field of general history and of social evolution." -- From chapter 1 of the introductory.
