Via LGM, here's a fascinating discussion of the origins of money. I've been wanting to read this guy's book for weeks, and this post just whets my appetite.
Edited to add: Just wanted to note that the Austrian economist Carl Menger, mentioned in the post, was a tutor to Crown Prince Rudolf, which ties back to my novel. Remember my novel?
I'm still in research mode, though right now I'm reading The No Asshole Rule, and learning a lot from it. (I'm not saying I currently work for an asshole, but I'm not saying I'm not, y'know?)
