A funny, philosophical book about the universal subject of money,
by award-winning non-fiction writer Martin Jenkins. A funny,
philosophical look at the universal subject of money by
award-winning non-fiction writer Martin Jenkins, illustrated by
Satoshi Kitamura. In the Yap Islands in the South Pacific money can
be a stone with a hole in the middle. It can be a string of shells,
a bundle of cloth or a copper slab. It's the stuff that makes the
world go round and doesn't grow on trees. In this fascinating and
thought-provoking book, Martin Jenkins explores the history of
money from its earliest beginnings to the electronic banking of
today. Along the way we learn about hunter gatherers, barter, clay
tablets, goat swapping, precious metals, hard bargains, IOUs,
interest, coins, Romans, taxes, inflation, paper money, currencies
and exchange rates. Satoshi Kitamura's quirky, satirical drawings
perfectly complement the dry humour of the text and in the end we
are reminded that money only exists because we believe in it.
Over 60% of Americans have no financial reserves, no emergency
funds and inadequate retirement goals. We have failed to teach our
young people even the very basics of money management. Journeys
with Max takes a young man and his family to new levels of
financial literacy through practical and realistic exercises using
inner-active educational techniques that every family can utilize
with ease and transparency. The lessons that Max learns are
designed to be fun and challenging, but also the basis for a
lifetime of financial rewards.
Spending and Saving Money introduces readers to the concept of
spending and saving money, including making decisions about when to
spend and when to save. Vivid photographs and easy-to-read text aid
comprehension for early readers. Features include a table of
contents, an infographic, fun facts, Making Connections questions,
a glossary, and an index. QR Codes in the book give readers access
to book-specific resources to further their learning.
