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。

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat
