Let The Ancestors Speak - Money and Mastery

📘 Let the Ancestors Speak: Money and Mastery is a sweeping historical exploration of Africa’s wealth systems—spanning 30 chapters from prehistoric Nubia to digital Kenya. It documents how Africans defined, stored, and distributed value through salt, cowries, kola nuts, griots, gold dust, and rotating savings before banks or balance sheets existed. With vivid storytelling, sarcasm, and cultural detail, it traces household budgets, palace economies, community finance, and transcontinental trade. The book also unpacks the trauma of stolen manuscripts, colonial tax traps, and currency sabotage—without reducing Africa to victimhood. It closes by highlighting ancestral ethics in fintech and legacy economics. More than a rebuttal to Eurocentric myths, it is a history book that lets African economies speak in their own rhythms, systems, and symbols—reminding us that Africa’s wealth was never missing, just misrepresented. 📿📚
