《牛顿与伪币制造者》 / Newton and the Counterfeiter

26.牛顿与伪币制造者：可能是斯内普的原型？ uses [[NewtonAndTheCounterfeiter|《牛顿与伪币制造者》]] as a double portrait: half [[IsaacNewton|Isaac Newton / 牛顿]] biography, half crime-and-money history around [[WilliamChaloner|William Chaloner / 查罗纳]]. The episode treats the book as a way to pull Newton out of the narrow apple-and-gravity image and into the institutions, beliefs, instruments, financial crises, and criminal networks of late-17th-century England.

The work matters to the wiki because it connects readable science biography to Great Recoinage / 大重铸, [[RoyalMint|the Royal Mint]], Counterfeit Currency Policing, and Currency Credit. It also preserves an uncomfortable Newton: brilliant, pious, secretive, administratively capable, and capable of hard-edged prosecution.
