Course Introduction

Famous actor and comedian Steve Martin said, “I love money. I love everything about it.” Human beings are, with few exceptions, fascinated by money, its acquisition, the look and feel of it, and even the loss of it.

Kabir Sehgal is former vice president, JP Morgan Chase, an investment banker, and financial executive, in addition to being a former navy officer, composer, and well-known author. In his latest bookCoined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us, Sehgal explores the history of money and how it affects human beings.

An interest in the culture of money came about after Sehgal witnessed the aftershock of the financial market crash of 2008, where he saw how quickly money markets can fail, and the damage this can wreak on individuals.

In this unique course, Sehgal shares his thoughts on money, its origins and development, it’s place in history, it’s relationship to debt, how money is linked to survival, how it works as a brain stimulant, the modern currency, and where we are likely to go from here.
