Jacques Le Goff sets out in this book to explain the role of money, or rather of the various types of money, in the economy, life and mentalities of the Middle Ages. He seeks also to explain how, in a society dominated by religion, the Church viewed money, and how it taught Christians what attitudes they should adopt towards it and towards the uses to which it could be put. He shows that, although money played an important role in the rise of towns and trade and in state formation, there was no capitalism but only a pre-capitalism in the Middle Ages, even by their end, in the absence of a truly global market. This is why economic development remained slow and limited, in spite of some remarkable success stories. It was a period in which it was as important to give money as it was to earn it. True wealth was not yet the wealth of this world, even though money played an increasingly large role in reality and in mentalities. No similar discussion of this subject, aimed at a wide readership, has previously been published. Written by one of the greatest medievalists, this book will be recognized as a standard work on the topic.… (meer)

Uno studio sullo sviluppo dell'economia monetaria senza pregiudizi né preconcetti, cioè con un'attenzione storica e storiografica esemplare. Interpretazioni ottocentesche ancora assai per la maggiore ci spingono, spesso, ad interpretazioni non solo sbagliate sul piano storiografico ma soprattutto inconsapevolmente di parte, garantendo giustificazioni storiche a scelte politiche (anche recenti) con origini e motivazioni ben diverse. Per esempio il falso legame fra usura ed ebrei, invenzione assai utile a coprire l'antisemitismo storico profondo dei cattolici con un manto "morale". L'usura è un peccato tremendo, nelle fasi iniziali (lo Scrovegni padre sta all'Inferno, secondo Dante, perché usuraio) ma poi viene addolcito dalle necessità papali, curiali e fiscali. Scrovegni figlio, che continua il mestiere paterno, è uno stimato signore che dimostra la sua pietas finanziando una Cappella dedicata ai poveri, a Padova, e la fa illustrare da Giotto, il quale, gentilmente, relega l'usura lontano, fra i peccati minori.
Una citazione tra le tante: "La consapevolezza del nefasto ruolo dell'anacronismo nella storiografia è una delle lezioni fondamentali dello studio del denaro nel Medioevo" ( )
