Why it’s on the list: Robin Wigglesworth’s history of the bond market, from the first tradable bonds of 12th-century Venice to the modern world.
Where I heard about it
- David Beckworth (@DavidBeckworth) — on X, September 30, 2026: listened to Wigglesworth’s “amazing storytelling on the origin of tradable bonds in medieval Venice” on a podcast with Gillian Tett, then got the book in the mail the same day.
