Heady stuff and a crucial read for anyone interested in the future of money in this age of geopolitical uncertainty. --Eric Helleiner, University of Waterloo Currency Statecraft demands--and rewards--the reader's patience as Cohen meticulously presents his theory. Like a Persian carpetmaker, he weaves his tapestry slowly and with great care until, finally, its full splendor is visible to everyone. By the end, one has acquired an intellectual framework that makes sense of the complex dynamics behind the formation and evolution of global moneys. --Eric Helleiner, University of Waterloo Global Bookmark
