Have you ever wondered why we can afford to buy far more clothes
than our grandparents ever could . . . but may be less likely to
own a home in which to keep them all? Why your petrol bill can
double in a matter of months, but it never falls as fast?; Behind
all of this lies economics.; It's not always easy to grasp the
complex forces that are shaping our lives. But by following a
dollar on its journey around the globe, we can start to piece it
all together.; The dollar is the lifeblood of globalisation.
Greenbacks, singles, bucks or dead presidents: call them what you
will, they are keeping the global economy going. Half of the notes
in circulation are actually outside of the USA - and many of the
world's dollars are owned by China.; But what is really happening
as our cash moves around the world every day, and how does it
affect our lives? By following $1 from a shopping trip in suburban
Texas, via China's central bank, Nigerian railroads, the oilfields
of Iraq and beyond, The Almighty Dollar reveals the economic truths
behind what we see on the news every day. Why is China the world's
biggest manufacturer - and the USA its biggest customer? Is free
trade really a good thing? Why would a nation build a bridge on the
other side of the planet?; In this illuminating read, economist
Dharshini David lays bare these complex relationships to get to the
heart of how our new globalised world works, showing who really
holds the power, and what that means for us all.
