Publisher's Synopsis
What the hell is an economy?
Is this the question that everyone is asking? Maybe not yet.
But ask yourself now, are you:
- thinking of investing in stocks to increase your personal wealth, but not sure what stocks are? How are stocks traded? What are dividends? What sets the price of stocks?
- looking to invest in bonds? If you are going to invest in bonds, or if governments and companies continue to issue bonds, then perhaps we all should understand what debt is, and how wealth is borrowed. Perhaps time to understand what money is, and how it is used to transfer wealth.
- starting a company? if you are an entrepreneur planning on starting your own company, then perhaps you should understand what corporations are, why we have them, and why stock is issued. Why do we even have corporations?
- or, after 2020, do you just want to help improve our society? Why not improve the standard of living for all? Because that is what a healthy, wealth creating economy does.
If you answered yes to any of the above, then perhaps this book is the answer. If we all are going to invest our excess wealth back into the economy, then perhaps we all should understand what wealth is, what an economy is, and how to make it run as efficiently as possible.
"This book is less a primer than it is an extended, sometimes dazzling proof, making the persuasive case that our economy could do more for us all while simultaneously warning against excessive centralization." - Booklife Review
