How Money Works: The Facts Visually Explained (How Things Work) (DK How Stuff Works)

I lovee so much this book, I love it the way it explain things easy, clear, with pictures that illustrate the concepts. I love learning and learning by visuals I love it double, so delighted with it. This kind of book is for me like a present, having this, having access to this kind of material is... super great. Thank you to all the people that have made this book. Things like this make the world a better place, helping people to access the knowledge in a easy, visual and engaging way. For any one wanted to access concepts about markets, finance, money, monetary system, this is a very good start point Every explanation is clear, very good explained, the cash flow, interest rates This book is even suitable for traders and investors (my case), the section on International currency explains one of the core stone of the currency markets, which is interest rate rise leads an appreciation of the currency. The knowledge is not deep but is the fundamental concepts, the pillars of markets, so even for investors which want to regain fundamentals is a good book.

Well written. Siply explained. Good illustrations. one of an excellent series of books.

would recommend

Fantastic book. Lots of relevant info for curious teens and maybe some young adults. Not dumbed down like a lot of books are nowadays. DK never fail to disappoint.

This book is great, if you want to increase your knowledge and learn about the general inner workings of money this is a perfect place to start. The format and way this book is laid out with quirky drawings and explanations really do explain things in a different element and add that extra touch.

This is a very informative read wrote and set out in a very interesting way that can be a little challenging at times, but you just have to keep returning to it

Very misleading review. I have the book and nowhere they mention or imply that all central banks are owned by Governments. The ownership aspect of central banks is beyond the scope of this book and it does very well by explaining their role in monetary policies and stick to this. Lastly when the author of the review states "Central banks are privately owned, this is a fact." it is a pure lie as most central banks are actually owned by Governments. Two exceptions are the FED and Bank of Italy which are indeed privately own. For the rest they are either purely owned by governments (eg Bank of England) or a mixed ownership between Government-Private owners as in Switzerland.

A good book! Clear and visually explained throughout. Very good. Thank you.

Very informative and fun to read

This book is great for anyone looking to have a whole and comprehensive view about money. Bought it twice, one for me to keep and one as a GIFT!

I don't recommend reading on Kindle(paperwhite in my case), because each page is displayed kinda like an image, so there's no option to look up words or highlight sentences. Also the font size is very small. I recommend getting a physical copy, not the Kindle edition

Great present for beginers!

Good basics, apt for any age to understand.
