The Accursed Share by George Bataille. Mumford as well, but he speaks mostly on technology as a whole (which includes economy/money but it is not the sole focus of his writing).

The Myth of the Machine I would say. I haven't read Technics and Civilisation but I imagine it re-treads a lot of the same ground. Volume one focuses on prehistory-medieval age and the second volume picks up from there. Not sure if it is what you're looking for, but I hope it helps.
