The Money Book by Alex Allan
The Money Book introduces the subject of money and finance to older children. Broken into key chapters, the book opens with a brief history of the origins and evolution of money before guiding young readers through essential concepts - presented in bite-size chunks and with the use of engaging infographics - that will help them become financially astute and confident about money matters. The key concepts and practical tips are broken up with fascinating rags-to-riches stories (and vice versa) as well as snapshots of major financial events, such as the great crashes, hyper-inflation and famous forgery cases. This ensures that the book retains human interest throughout. The closing chapter explores the topic from a moral and philosophical perspective, offering the reader a holistic understanding on how to become a financially responsible person.
