  You Spend It. You Save It. You Never Have Enough of It. But how does money actually work?Understanding cash, currencies and the financial system is vital for making sense of what is going on in our world, especially now. Since the 2008 financial crisis, money has rarely been out of the headlines. Central banks have launched extraordinary policies, like quantitative easing or negative interest rates. New means of payment, like Bitcoin and Apple Pay, are changing how we interact with money and how governments and corporations keep track of our spending. Radical politicians in the US and UK are urging us to transform our financial system and make it the servant of social justice. And yet, if you stopped for a moment and asked yourself whether you really understand how it works, would you honestly be able to say 'yes'?In Money in One Lesson, Gavin Jackson, a lead writer for the Financial Times, specialising in economics, business and public policy, answers the most important questions to clarify for the reader what money is and how it shapes our societies. With brilliant storytelling, Jackson  provides a basic understanding of the most important element of our everyday lives. Drawing on stories like the 1970s Irish Banking Strike to show what money actually is, and the Great Inflation of West Africa's cowrie shell money to explain how it keeps its value, Money in One Lesson demystifies the world of finance and explains how societies, both past and present, are forever entwined with monetary matters.

  Life In The Pits - My Time as a...

  Brad Schaeffer

  In 1989, Brad Schaeffer was working as an artist when his trader brother invited him to visit the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Schaeffer promptly quit his job and became a clerk in that most iconic arena of raw capitalism. During the next six years, Schaeffer rose from clerk to trader, making markets on Eurodollar options in Chicago and heating oil options in New York. In that time, jammed literally shoulder-to-shoulder, he screamed, flailed his arms, hurled expletives, and pushed and shoved his way through his day. 
   
   
   
  In Life in the Pits, Schaeffer recalls the uneasy camaraderie of working right next to fierce competitors, the sheer intensity of dealing in stacks of money changing hands with a simple scream or hand signal, and the hijinks, excesses, and collection of characters as colorful as the jackets they wore, giving the listener an intimate look into what life was like down in the financial mosh pits. 
   
   
   
  A worthy successor to Liar's Poker and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Life in the Pits offers nuggets of wisdom on what makes a successful trader and the rules all must follow to survive in such an unforgiving environment. Schaeffer's often hilarious, yet sometimes profound, reflections take us on his personal journey from penniless artist to moving millions of dollars' worth of commodities in the blink of an eye.

  As fundraisers, we're often overlooked and quite misunderstood. "Just go raise the money," they say. "If you need a bigger team, raise more money so we can hire." 
  Philanthropy is a tough gig. We're working with what we've got, and it is often beans. We make magic happen and operate as a conductor in the beautiful symphony that is community, impact and sustainability, and we're often sacrificing ourselves along the way. 
  Throughout my career, I've broken the "philanthropy rules" and established my own. I'm a self-taught fundraiser with a get shit done attitude, an abundance mindset and with or without you energy that is now helping leaders and organizations raise more money without sacrificing who they are. 
  Each chapter I share is based on my own personal journey and what has contributed to my success over two decades, leaving you key takeaways to question arbitrary and outdated rules, and to challenge the status quo. 
  Together, let's rethink philanthropy. 
  ----- 
  Sarah Ernest doesn't just invite us to rethink philanthropy; she challenges us to reinvent it. 
  Learn how to break the rules, raise more funds, and do good-better. 
  What You'll Find Inside:

  Breaking Conventional Fundraising Norms: Explore creative approaches that challenge the status quo and yield extraordinary results.
