eBook: NoNonsense Money Crisis by Peter Stalker

What exactly is money and what does it do? We might understand coins, notes and gold bars but do we understand credit default swaps and sovereign wealth funds? In responding to these questions with penetrating historical analysis and demystifying language, Peter Stalker exposes the flaws in the system that led to financial disaster.

He reveals that this is not just a failure of banking, it is a crisis of money. A combination of deregulation, incompetence and greed have created the conditions for boom and bust. This concise book not only provides an understanding of these factors but also offers strategies for taking them out of the equation, so that governments can bring money back under control.
