If it's because you want to understand money collapse due to inflation like when the Roman's took gold out of the money a better read is "when money dies" about the Weimar Repuplic = Germany after ww1.
Partly, and I just bought and read when money dies! Excellent book. I instead just want to start reading more historical non fiction as a way to learn about real history. Felt like I didn't do that as well as I should have growing up, and don't trust what I was told through text books
