104. Great Links
The one at http://www.ex.ac.uk/~RDavies/arian/war.html sums up 2 thousand years of the history of war & money quite impressively.

My favorite quote so far is:

One linguistic legacy of the Viking era is the phrase "to pay through the nose". This expression comes from the unfortunate habit of the Danes in Ireland in the 9th century who slit the noses of those unwilling or unable to pay the Danish poll tax.


In fact, the whole Roy Davies website's amazing. Everything you ever wanted to know about money.

Thanks for the pointer.
