Publisher's Synopsis

Addresses the modern history of money and finance in the region of the Democratic Republic of Congo during the period 1885-1995. This study begins by exploring a series of devices that served as money in the ancient Kingdom of Congo (13th-17th century), from Nzimbu, a small seashell, to Mbongo, a common term for money in Congolese languages.
