You were never taught how money actually works. That was not an accident.
Where does money really come from? Why can the government "print" trillions but you can't? Is the national debt a crisis — or a con? Why does everything feel rigged, and who exactly is it rigged for?Most books about the economy ask you to pick a team before they'll explain anything. This one refuses. In plain English — no equations, no jargon, no political cheerleading — Levi D. Kavan pulls back the curtain on the machine that runs your life: the Federal Reserve, the banks that create money out of thin air, the national debt, inflation, taxes, and the quiet rules that decide who wins before the "free market" ever renders its verdict.
You'll finally understand:
- Where money comes from — and why most of it is created by private banks the moment someone borrows
- What the Federal Reserve really does — and why fighting inflation always costs someone their job
- Why the national debt isn't like your credit card — and what the real limit on government spending actually is
- Modern Monetary Theory — steelmanned and honestly criticized, so you can judge it yourself
- Why taxes aren't the government's income — they're its steering wheel, turned for decades to tax work harder than wealth
- How the system booms, busts, and bails out the people who caused the crash
- Why working harder can feel like running in place — and the structural reason it isn't in your head
By the last page, you'll watch a Fed announcement, a debt-ceiling fight, or a tax bill and know exactly what's happening — and who it's happening for. You'll never read the economic news the same way again.
Fully illustrated with 12 original charts and diagrams — from how banks conjure money out of a keystroke to why your pay stopped tracking your productivity — that make each idea impossible to forget.
From the author of the Power and Politics, Explained series. Written for the smart, skeptical reader who's tired of both economics textbooks and cable-news spin.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
