The Money Book Summary

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.
