About this Item

Paperback. It's been said that money makes the world go around. We complain about too much money in politics. People bemoan having too much month at the end of the money. Magazines make lists of people with more money than everyone else. It seems like everything has a price tag, and you can't do anything without money. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, and protesters march and chant in opposition. In "It's a Wonderful Life," everyone was afraid of the power of Mr. Potter, the richest man in town. People with money seem to be able to do anything. These little pieces of metal and paper have so much power. Where do they get it? Money has power over us only to the extent that we give it power. Money is an immensely powerful tool, but it is, at its core, only a tool. Money only exists in the context of a free, cooperative society, but we've let money reduce our freedoms and undermine our cooperation. Money exists only as our servant, but we act like that's not true. We bow down before a god that we created, before a god that exists only as long as we treat it as a god. The goal of this book is to examine the four most fundamental foundations of money, to expose the root of all money, and give you the knowledge and perspective to let money serve you, instead of you serving money. This book helps you to to understand the root of money, the foundations of exactly what money is, what it does, and how it works. With those fundamentals, you can then understand where money gets its power, how manipulation of money by governments and banks and individuals can destroy societies (and has, many times in history).

Synopsis

It’s been said that money makes the world go around. We complain about too much money in politics. People bemoan having too much month at the end of the money. Magazines make lists of people with more money than everyone else. It seems like everything has a price tag, and you can’t do anything without money. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, and protesters march and chant in opposition. In “It’s a Wonderful Life,” everyone was afraid of the power of Mr. Potter, the richest man in town. People with money seem to be able to do anything. These little pieces of metal and paper have so much power. Where do they get it? Money has power over us only to the extent that we give it power. Money is an immensely powerful tool, but it is, at its core, only a tool. Money only exists in the context of a free, cooperative society, but we’ve let money reduce our freedoms and undermine our cooperation. Money exists only as our servant, but we act like that’s not true. We bow down before a god that we created, before a god that exists only as long as we treat it as a god. The goal of this book is to examine the four most fundamental foundations of money, to expose the root of all money, and give you the knowledge and perspective to let money serve you, instead of you serving money. This book helps you to to understand the root of money, the foundations of exactly what money is, what it does, and how it works. With those fundamentals, you can then understand where money gets its power, how manipulation of money by governments and banks and individuals can destroy societies (and has, many times in history).
