This book is about the history of banking in Europe- https://www.amazon.com/Richest-Man-Who-Ever-Lived/dp/1451688563

It's about Jacob Fugger and how he took capitalism and book keeping to another level.
This is a rather narrow scope, but I really liked this book on Joseph Fugger, whose lending operations spawned the Fugger bank that was very important in the 14th-15th centuries. His loans paid the bribes to decide who became Holy Roman Emperor. Very interesting stuff.
