内容简介 Book Description
This wry little guide will tell you where money comes from, what it means, what it is doing to the planet and what we might be able to do about it. The Little Money Book could make you look at everything from your bank statements to the coins in your pocket in a new way. It could even change your life.

Synopsis
"The Little Money Book" is designed to tell readers where money comes from, what it means, what it's doing to the planet, and what we might be able to do about it. Money, and the complex system that makes it work, is a man-made product that we invented, and yet, like Frankenstein, it has all of us in its grip. From the poorest to the wealthiest, we all worry about money. Among the topics covered in the book are ownership, globalisation, third world debt, green taxes and the role of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Boyle succeeds in creating a book the illuminates the emerging debate on how money can at last, be made to work for the people, and not against them.

From the Publisher
From the poorest to the most wealthy, we worry about money. We worry about our bank balance, our shares, our retirnement, our bills. It's a strange peculiarity of modern life that we struggle with money as much as we do. We live in the richest societies in the history of humanity, yet we spend more time than ever worrying about money. This Little Book is intended to redress the balance of power a little. It isn't like the glossy financial guides pressed into our hands by sales represenatives from our banks or an economics textbook. It will tell you the truth that polictians and brokers alike prefer not to think about too much - the way they have lost control of a gigantic financial system that could enrich or impoverish us all in seconds if it chose to do so.

作者简介 David Boyle first became interested in money when he was an environment journalist, frustrated at the way that it made things either possible or impossible. Since then he has written widely about money from a green and ethical perspective and spoken about new kinds of money to audiences ranging from European bankers to e-cash experts.
