About this listen
If money is an important topic to you, and if you want to learn why so many aspects of your life and the world are tied to money, then keep reading.
Many today actually feel less aware or knowledgeable of how money, government, and society connect. However, the important keys to understanding have not changed for centuries.
We need once and for all an effective overview of money in this context. The players in this space certainly wield great power. Their wide-reaching influence and actions have critical consequences for the majority of the world. Are they for the greater good or for the destruction of our freedom and happiness?
This book concisely states must-know facts pertaining to:
- Booms and busts, an endless cycle
- Collusion: the Fed and government
- Gold standard and standard of living
- Supply (of what) and demand (by whom)
- Money’s buying power
- Money and market instability
- Our direction and future
The subject is more intriguing and thought provoking than you may have believed, when we see the truth. The concepts of the economy and money take on a more compelling meaning beyond the everyday discussion of business and finance.
If you want to get started on learning these ideas, then I urge you to scroll up and click Add to Cart. See you inside!

We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance. Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it's the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it's the chains of labor. Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress.

In responding to the financial crash of 2008, both the Bush administration and the Obama administration have relied on prescriptions developed by John Maynard Keynes, the most important economist since Marx. But should we be relying on Keynes? What did Keynes actually say? Did he make his case? Hunter Lewis concludes that he did not. If Keynes was wrong then so are the economic policies of virtually all world governments today.

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

The top 1 percent of Americans control 40 percent of the nation's wealth. And, as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains, while those at the top enjoy the best health care, education, and benefits of wealth, they fail to realize that "their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live." Stiglitz draws on his deep understanding of economics to show that growing inequality is not inevitable. He examines our current state, then teases out its implications for democracy, for monetary and budgetary policy, and for globalization. He closes with a plan for a more just and prosperous future.

This is an updated version of the book that accurately predicted the global stock market crash of 2008, the bursting of the real estate bubble, and Ben Bernanke's unprecedented overreaction via quantitative easing programs. First published in 2008, the book quickly became a best seller not just for its timely insight into precious metals investment but for its amazingly accurate prediction of a "roller-coaster crash"—the manipulated whipsaw between inflation, deflation, and back again.

The root of most of today's material whoas?
This audiobook is a great overview of the current monetary system we live in today. If you've ever wondered why house prices and stocks go up faster than your paycheck look no further. How governments can spend all that extra money without raising taxes, this is here too. Once you release how the system works the main question is, what can you do about it and what are you doing about it? Remember always to keep within your sphere of influence.

I enjoyed listening to the audiobook. I find it very insightful. Short, however, very interesting. I've learned much about how the government uses tax money and the money itself. I'm glad that I know these things now. The narration was easy to follow too. I highly recommend it.
