Money is sought after throughout the world and people are even killed over it.  But, why?  What is money?  A piece of paper?This book explained it to me in plain language.  Starting with the history of how people stopped using gold and silver to trade and moved to a paper system and then moving into our present day Federal Reserve system.  And even talks about when we went away from the Gold Standard.I had a vague understanding of monetary policy, but never had the background to help me understand how we got to where we are.  This book filled in all of those gaps for me!This is a great read on what money really means to our economy and out lives.  I enjoyed it!
