"Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons" Woody Allen Outraged at your tax bill? Thrilled with a 99p flight around the world? Everything has its price, but there's no point in worrying about money - its value will soon change. Peter Pugh takes the long view, looking at our changing attitudes to money, from the day in Germany in 1923 when a basket was worth more than the cash it carried, to the $2.5 million credit card bill for a single purchase of a Lichtenstein painting (earning the buyer 2.5 million air miles, enough to take him and 8 of his friends to the moon and back).

From the very serious to the utterly ridiculous, It's Only Money reveals how the Queen has somehow spent £5 billion in 15 years, why children are a bad investment, and how to kiss a German girl for free in this brilliant account of the unequal and curious nature of money.
