Broken Money Why Our Financial System Is Failing Us And How We Can Make It Better

Great reading for anyone who wants to understand money in today's world. Excellent reading.

This book currently enriches my life. So much knowledge!!!

An incredible book, makes me want to run out into the street waving a copy above my head so everybody can read it. Explains the current state of the world, diagnoses the problems, offers tentative solutions. Anybody with a interest in current UK politics needs to read chapter 9 - a devastating explanation of the malaise and a broad outline of a path forward

Very readable, distilled economic commentary. Definitely changed my perspective on where the US dollar is going and it's negative impact on the majority of the developed world over the last century.

Very good book to read

Super

Money is such an in incredibly important topic but unfortunately not very well understood by most. Humans trade time for money as a form of storing our efforts in a battery than can latter be consumed or transferred but the current form of money can be diluted in non-transparent and opaque ways, thus stealing our most valuable resource - time. With a blend of engineering and finance, Lyn did a great job explaining what money is at its core, its history, and the evolution of money as a technology. She explains the complex global financial system and emergence of new money technology in layman terms, making such important knowledge accessible to the mass. With all the noises and distractions out there, this book is an absolute must-read to educate oneself on where we are in the money technology cycle, what it means when storing your hard-earned wealth in different vehicles, some can barely keep up with the pace of monetary dilution while there are better options to protect yourself and your family. In my humble opinion, money is well worth the time learning about because (i) it can stop you from bleeding out wealth that was accumulated by expanding your time in the past and (ii) when your purchasing power grows, it creates time for you in the future - precious time to focus on your health, passion, and family.
