How do you measure money and credit?

Carefully. How much did the money supply fluctuate under the gold standard?

I'm not advocating a gold standard.

You might be able to get a rough number for the supply of gold throughout human history but that is entirely different than the "money supply". Given the tangled web that is the history of global finance, I'm skeptical that you can really nail down the quantity of money-like instruments with any great precision.
