GENERAL SITES ON THE HISTORY OF MONEY, MONETARY THEORY, ECONOMIC THOUGHT etc.
(other sites are linked from each week)

Monetary History >> a reasonably comprehensive list of links, put together by the librarian son of Glyn Davies, who wrote a fairly comprehensive, if somewhat eurocentric, History of Money from Ancient Times to the Present Day (1994)

History of Money>> a brief account, with good pictures, from the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank; see also the essay on Governments and Money, from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

United States Mint>> some historical materials, as well as information on how money is produced today; compare the sites of the British Royal Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint

Archive for the HIstory of Economic Thought >> if a text is old enough to no longer be under copyright, there's a good chance you can find a copy here. See also Marxists.org for a wide range of writings (including many by non-marxists).

Making of the Modern World >> the title is hardly value neutral, but this is still an excellent, fully searchable, digital collection of texts about business and economy, 1450-1850

History of Economic Thought >> excellent resource assembled at the New School for Social Research (New York) with encyclopedia-style articles on a great range of topics, plus links.

Lectures on Economics and Finance >> powerpoint presentations from Steve Keen's lectures at the University of Western Sydney--there's A LOT of material here!

E. F. Schumacher Society >> advocates the use of local curencies and micro-credit.
