Sinossi

"Joke Currency" explores the surprisingly functional world of currencies born from satire, revealing their history and economic impact. It argues that these unconventional monetary systems offer valuable insights into the principles of money and the social constructs defining value. For instance, some joke currencies facilitate real-world transactions, while others reflect societal dissent. The book uniquely examines monetary systems through humor, providing a critical analysis of the forces shaping our economic lives.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts of currency and value, then exploring historical examples, analyzing their economic mechanisms, and examining their social and political messages. It demonstrates that currency isn't solely a creation of governments but can organically emerge from communities. This challenges conventional understandings of money, value, and trust.

 
By examining the historical context of joke currencies, from early scrip to modern digital forms, the book highlights the socio-political climates fostering their creation. With its accessible approach, "Joke Currency" presents historical accounts, economic analyses, and case studies to appeal to readers interested in history, economics, and alternative currencies. It fosters an understanding of how even the most unconventional monetary experiments can offer lessons about community, value, and economic innovation.

    How to live on 24 Hours a Day...

    Arnold Bennett's classic 'Time Management' book that most certainly still rings true today as we strive to control our busy lives. 
     
    We tend to value money more rather than time, in the words of Bennett…'Newspapers are full of articles explaining how to live on such-and-such a sum…but I have never seen an essay 'how to live on 24 hours a day.' Yet it has been said that time is money. That proverb understates the case. Time is a great deal more than money. If you have time, you can obtain money-usually. But…you cannot buy yourself a minute more time'. 
    You will learn how to make the time you need to acquire what you want out of life and what you want to achieve. There is no magic formula just an explanation of how most people use and waste their time and he shows you another way of using time to your best advantage. 
    Bennett combines his reasoned and proven methods to explain with a fair degree of humour where people go wrong and how to avoid a typical day can be altered for the better even if you have a demanding full-time job.
