This is a great book - explains a lot, even more than you really want need to know, truth be told. Presented in easy-to-digest pictographs, this covers everything from the formation of our monetary system to the ins and outs of the more complex financial world.

A really informative and well explained book. Many important topics are covered, including business accounting, central bank policy, monetary supply, lending practices, quantitative easing, international currencies, pensions, etc. The book uses simple illustrations, bullet points, and analogies to get the major points across. The information isn't super deep, but that's to be expected from a visual introduction. The book was also very quick to read, which makes it great as a primer. I think this is a great read for anyone interested in knowing more about the economy.

This was a fun read. It had lots of cool infographics related to money. This book felt more like an encyclopedia though. Information overload, in other words.
