'Pithy and punchy . . . Profoundly useful for anyone wanting to understand why the current global economy is in such a mess, and what that might mean for your own finances' Gillian Tett
'The great economist John Maynard Keynes once said that "not one man in a million" truly understands inflation - a state of affairs that is extremely problematic for millions of people and, by extension, for society as a whole. The Price of Money is an important contribution to redressing this problem.' Andrew Craig
The book to explain why your money is losing value, and what you should do about it
For hundreds of years, working hard and saving up diligently would have set you up for financial security and a comfortable retirement. Not anymore.
For the last 50 years we've been living in a whole new financial world - one that's seeing your savings lose value faster than you can build them, asset prices explode out of most people's reach, and many slipping backwards however hard they try.
The Price of Money explains, in a straightforward and entertaining way, what's changed - and what you should do now we're here. You'll learn why the pound has lost 99 per cent of its value, and how to use future declines to your advantage. You'll understand how the government produced £445 billion out of thin air in response to Covid, and which investments will benefit most as a result. Most importantly, you'll be shown what's coming next - and how to position yourself to gain rather than suffer.
You don't need even the slightest knowledge of economics to read this book - just a desire to understand why the world of money is working against you, and what to do about it.
Review
A pithy and punchy guide that explains in a very engaging and readable manner the essentials of modern finance and economics. It is profoundly useful for anyone wanting to understand why the current global economy is in such a mess, and what that might mean for your own finances. -- GILLIAN TETT, Editor-at-Large of the Financial Times
Dix has produced as lucid and comprehensive account of money and its pitfalls as you are likely to find. In an age of elevated prices it is highly relevant to all our lives. -- ALEX BRUMMER, City Editor of the Daily Mail
A tour of the nuts and bolts that hold the economy together is not supposed to be interesting, but Rob Dix makes it fascinating. This is a bracing ride through the unexpectedly wild world of money. -- ED CONWAY, Economics Editor, Sky News
Very little affects your quality of life more than money - and it's hard to get and to keep if you don't really understand how it works. After you've read Rob Dix's short, sharp introduction, you will know more than most ordinary people about how money works - and also (I'm sorry to say) rather more than most Cabinet ministers too. -- MERRYN SOMERSET WEBB, Bloomberg Columnist and host of Merryn Talks Money
An excellent primer for anyone who ever wondered how the financial system and economy really works - filled with knowledge that will help you make better money decisions in your own life, too. -- LAURA WHATELEY, author of Money: A User’s Guide
John Maynard Keynes once said that "not one man in a million" truly understands inflation: a state of affairs that is extremely problematic for millions of people and, by extension, for society as a whole. Rob Dix's book The Price of Money is an important contribution to redressing that problem. -- ANDREW CRAIG, Author of How to Own the World
Not a moment too soon, Rob Dix has laid out in the most refreshing, entertaining, approachable and informative way the historical intricacies, intentional complexity, purposeful ambiguity and frustrating inconsistencies of the global markets, economic policy - and money. The Price of Money should be required reading for anyone who transacts (gets paid, pays for anything or tries to invest) at any point in their journey. As an investor I enjoyed and learned from every page and know other readers will too. -- EILEEN BURBRIDGE, Partner at Passion Capital
About the Author
Rob Dix started investing as a hobby using his spare cash, but soon became obsessed. Over the next ten years, he would do everything he could to educate himself about the financial world and to pass on what he learnt.
Today, Rob is one of Britain's best-respected finance experts. Whether he's presenting The Property Podcast (Britain's most-downloaded investment podcast) or writing his weekly property column for The Sunday Times, Rob is on a mission to teach the world about how money, the economy and investment really work.
Rob's fourth book, The Price of Money, was an instant number 1 bestseller when it was first published in 2022. This new edition has been completely revised and updated for today's economy.
