A mission of global importance: Taking back control of our money through financial literacy.
If we want money to serve society instead of banks and tech billionaires, we need to know how our money system works
Thomas Bollen blends investigative journalism with personal stories and the right amount of theory and explanations in this guide to bypass the complex jargon that gatekeeps the mechanics of our money.
Plenty Of Money, But Not For You reveals the international battlefield where central bank presidents, bankers, lobbyists, scientists and activist groups confront the most powerful corporations in the world in a fight over global finance. Together, they trace the path past gold vaults, bank towers in New York, London, and Frankfurt, uncovering the mechanisms of the established financial order. Bollen follows the flow of money through society and exposes how tech billionaires and crypto companies are quietly seizing power through their digital currencies.
