圖解貨幣簡史:貨幣的誕生,以及它如何影響從古至今的金融體制與國際政治: : 40 20 + Vitali Konstantinov 1963Odessa1999352017

作者: 維達利  |  譯者: 温澤元


       歐元、美元、日元、法郎、先令、英鎊……全世界有著各式各樣的錢。 但到底什麼是「錢」?「錢」是誰發明的?為何能夠通行?硬幣、紙幣、銀行存款、信用卡和加密貨幣……錢的形式有這麼多種,各自的誕生源由為何?
 
  就算我們不談錢的形式,但我們每天都聽到人們在提「賺錢」,到底所謂的「賺錢」是什麼意思?規則與交易機制又是怎麼制訂的?人類是如何從以物易物發展成現今複雜的金融制度,又,為什麼現在的金融制度會讓人覺得分配不正義?我們的金融制度出了何種問題?
 
  要了解金融的發展史,你不必再從硬梆梆的經濟學如亞當斯密、李嘉圖、凱因斯等理論開始讀起,也不必因為人人都在談資本主義,就去嗑厚重的資本論,德國藝術家維達利結合圖像與資訊圖表的概念,透過40個金融主題,為你梳理從貨幣誕生之始,到戰爭與礦產的開採如何影響貨幣,甚至是我們如何從金本位制開始,想像未來世代的貨幣。
 
  本書的第一章從金融的概念開始談起,商業交易本來就是從以物易物開始發展,進而衍生到以等價的金屬進行交換,再發展出「貨幣」的概念,這個章節在描述世界各地的早期貨幣是如何發衍生來的。
 
  第二章從較為普及的貨幣發展談到20世紀的金融,包括談諸如呂底亞等古文明國家的貨幣狀況,接著談到各種希臘化戰爭怎麼讓各地貨幣進行第一階段的融合,以及每個地方不同礦產,對於幣值的爭議,以及航海時代如何開拓更多礦產與不同貨幣種類等,當然這個全球化的初階時代,也拓展了金融制度的演進。接著一路談到近代如何建立更為複雜的銀行制度,以及上市上櫃、市場、投資與交易所等,並陳述了幾個大型金融事件。
 
  第三章則屬於比較展望未來的章節,將重點放在金融家與他們的理論,部分的金融實驗(金融改革的一環),以及當人們要進入太空時代,對於貨幣(交易)的想像又會改變,人們是如何看待這些的演進的。
 
  本書可以說是優秀的視覺小說+金融簡史,可以作為理解經濟史與世界史、地緣政治的懶人包。

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
