The Price of Money

How to Prosper in a Financial World That’s Rigged Against You

Summary

The Sunday Times Bestseller

'Excellent . . . Filled with knowledge that will help you make better money decisions.' Laura Whateley, author of Money: A User's Guide

We all depend on money every day. But almost none of us understand it.

Have you ever wondered why your shopping bill keeps getting more expensive? Or how the government can produce billions out of thin air while your savings are shrinking? Or where you should put your money in an age of economic turmoil? Here, a leading investor offers a crash-course in how money works, and how to make yours go further. You will never look at your bank balance the same way again.

'How the global monetary system shapes our everyday personal finances . . . Really, really interesting.' Claer Barrett, author of What They Don't Teach You About Money

'Fascinating . . . A bracing ride through the unexpectedly wild world of money.' Ed Conway, author of Material World

Reviews

  • This brilliant book offers a singularly clear, accessible and funny introduction to where our economic malaise has come from - and how understanding it can help any of us make better financial decisions. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
