The power of money : how governments and banks create money and help us all prosper / Paul Sheard.

Sheard, Paul, (author.).

Summary:
MONEY PERMEATES OUR EVERYDAY LIVES - IT REALLY DOES MAKE THE ECONOMIC WORLD GO ROUND - AND YET CONFUSION AND CONTROVERSY ABOUT MONEY ABOUND. IN 'THE POWER OF MONEY,' PAUL SHEARD LIFTS THE VEIL ON HOW MONEY IS CREATED AND SHOWS HOW IT KEEPS THE WHEELS OF THE ECONOMY TURNING, GENERATING PROSPERITY FOR ALL. Money issues dominate the news, but economic jargon and the complexity of it all can be bamboozling. Leading economist Paul Sheard is known for his ability to see the forest and the trees and demystify complex economic phenomena. With The Power of Money, Sheard empowers readers to become better-informed economic citizens by tackling some of the biggest questions surrounding money, such as: -How does money come into existence? -Does government debt ever have to be repaid? -What is quantitative easing and how does it work? -Are financial crises bound to happen? -Can the euro, a currency without a government, survive in its current form? -Are proposed cures for economic inequality worse than the disease? -What is the future of money, and are cryptocurrencies going to change everything? Financial enthusiasts and non-specialists alike will be surprised by the answers to these questions. The Power of Money lays down a comprehensive foundation of knowledge that will enable you to follow and engage in economic and financial affairs and policy debates. -- Provided by publisher.
