Money in One Lesson

內容簡介

內容簡介 ✰英國《金融時報》首席撰稿人、經濟與公共政策學家Gavin Jackson傾力著作 ✰你花錢、存錢、但卻永遠不會滿足於金錢！一窺金錢的實際運作法則 自2008年金融危機以來，金錢一直是各大報導的頭條新聞，無論是央行政策、正負利率與各種常規規則，在現在的世界中，理解貨幣、金錢、金融體系已經至關重要，加上新興的比特幣(Bitcoin)、Apple Pay等支付方式改變了金錢交易的遊戲規則，在被這些支出追著跑的同時，停下腳步問問自己，你是否真的明白這一切是如何運作，坦白說你真的了解嗎？ 由Gavin Jackson親自解答，為大眾解釋金錢是什麼、以及它如何形塑我們的社會，透過對日常生活元素的了解，讀懂現在、過去、未來的貨幣問題！ You Spend It. You Save It. You Never Have Enough of It. But how does it actually work?Understanding cash, currencies and the financial system is vital for making sense of what is going on in our world, especially now. Since the 2008 financial crisis, money has rarely been out of the headlines. Central banks have launched extraordinary policies, like quantitative easing or negative interest rates. New means of payment, like Bitcoin and Apple Pay, are changing how we interact with money and how governments and corporations keep track of our spending. Radical politicians in the US and UK are urging us to transform our financial system and make it the servant of social justice.And yet, if you stopped for a moment and asked yourself whether you really understand how it works, would you honestly be able to say ’yes’?In Money in One Lesson, Gavin Jackson, a lead writer for the Financial Times, specialising in economics, business and public policy, answers the most important questions to clarify for the reader what money is and how it shapes our societies. With brilliant storytelling, Jackson provides a basic understanding of the most important element of our everyday lives. Drawing on stories like the 1970s Irish Banking Strike to show what money actually is, and the Great Inflation of West Africa’s cowrie shell money to explain how it keeps its value, Money in One Lesson demystifies the world of finance and explains how societies, both past and present, are forever entwined with monetary matters."
