About this listen

 What kind of mischief can result from misunderstanding the monetary system? The work of 2 obscure Scottish chemists destroyed the presidential prospects of William Jennings Bryan, as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision to appease a few senators from the American West who helped communism triumph in China, are just 2 such mishaps cited in this important work by Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman. This accessible work also provides an in-depth discussion on the creation of value: from stones to feathers to gold; the central role of monetary theory and how it can act to ignite or deepen inflation; and what the present monetary system means for both the domestic and global economy.©1992 Milton Friedman (P)1992 Blackstone Audiobooks Americas Banks & Banking Economic History Economics Personal Finance Banking Taxation China Capitalism Economic Policy Franklin D Roosevelt Money Government Deflation Great Recession Financial History

Interesting book that I'll have to listen to again =) Chapter 4 is missing but it is all mathematical proofs of the gold standard/bimetallism that can be seen if a physical copy is purchased. I'm no mathematician so I doubt I would have understood anyway.

Fascinating

The narrator’s voice is completely off and the production quality is very poor. Sometimes it seems people are talking in the background. Almost could not finish the book

Narrator destroys book

I realise that there are many people out there with a big passion for narration, voice over etc., and highly educated but personally I prefer a deeper voice of a storyteller.

Narrator's voice not quite suitable

annoying voice

A quick educational journey of money. I had to repeat several sentences as it took me awhile to get my head around them.
The second to last chapter was intriguing. The thought of going back to a metal backed currency is what the BRICS are doing now. Having a fixed supply is what crypto is doing.
The narrator was a different choice but she had a clear voice, so I could listen at 2x speed.

An educational journey

At first it's quite compelling, but hours of detail about the price of gold Vs silver in different countries gets incredibly tedious.

Starts well, gets boring very quickly
