Medici Money: Banking, Metaphysics, and Art in Fifteenth-Century Florence by Tim Parks explores the intricate relationship between finance, art, and philosophy during the Renaissance period, particularly focusing on the influential Medici family. The book delves into how the Medici's banking practices not only shaped their wealth but also funded artistic endeavors and intellectual pursuits, contributing significantly to the cultural landscape of Florence.

Parks examines the metaphysical ideas that underpinned the Medici's financial strategies and how these ideas influenced the artists and thinkers of the time. By intertwining historical narrative with economic analysis, the author sheds light on the complexities of power, wealth, and creativity in a pivotal era of human history. The book serves as both a historical account and a reflection on the broader implications of money and art in society.
