Money Plain & Simple provides a straightforward guide to understanding the global monetary system and why the shine is off the US dollar’s position as the Gold Standard of world currencies. Steven J. Spence, a military veteran and corporate employee-turned-entrepreneur, lays out a concise history of the US monetary system. He’s candid about his own hard-won life lessons and then shares how he came to discover the tough realities revealed in this informative audiobook. The author explains in layperson’s terms how the institutions behind money work and how it affects you. He also offers timely insights into what’s going on right now from cryptocurrency to inflation and hyper-inflation and steps you should consider to secure your own financial future.
