Book Description
Throughout the annals of human history, the barter system persisted as the fundamental pillar of commerce, a complex and intricate network facilitating the direct exchange of products and services. However, a complex obstacle lurked within this intricate network: the "double coincidence of wants," which required both parties to desire the products or services of the other, resulting in trade inefficiencies and obstructions. As a response, resourceful individuals devised a remedy: money. By providing a standardized unit of value, money, the universal medium of exchange, emancipated individuals from the constraints of barter. Its inception brought about a paradigm shift in economic transactions, introducing an age of efficient transactions and consistency. By functioning as a centralized medium of exchange, money emerged as a critical component of contemporary economies, facilitating the quantification, comparison, and accumulation of wealth. Diverse currencies surfaced amidst the global economic environment, serving as emblematic representations of nationalism and culture. However, the emergence of cryptocurrencies, which were built upon revolutionary blockchain technology, posed a challenge to the prevailing norms. Decentralized and secure digital assets presented unparalleled prospects for international trade and financial transactions, thereby causing significant disruption to conventional monetary systems. As the future transpires, cryptocurrencies emerge as a potential disruptor of the financial landscape. In light of the coexistence of traditional fiat currencies and their digital counterparts, it is crucial to possess a thorough comprehension of these dynamic financial instruments. The global community is confronted with a multitude of challenges and opportunities as it navigates the complex trajectories of the continuously evolving financial future.

Book Description
This book is an authentic multidimensional history of the car industry in China. 40 years, attempts were made to change the status quo, such as breaking the 220% tariff barrier and setting limits when opening up to international car companies. It was not until the beginning of the 21st century that ordinary people in China started to own cars. This led to rapid growth of the Chinese car industry since the 21st century. However, the industry is facing its biggest challenge due to conflict between China's economic and social values. The author, as a media person chronicling cars in China, has witnessed, experienced, and even participated in the development process of the industry. Weaving in juicy tales, interesting details, and rare pictures, the readers are taken on an exhilarating ride through the story of cars in China.

Book Description
In his best-selling Irrational Exuberance, Robert Shiller cautioned that society's obsession with the stock market was fueling the volatility that has since made a roller coaster of the financial system. Less noted was Shiller's admonition that our infatuation with the stock market distracts us from more durable economic prospects. These lie in the hidden potential of real assets, such as income from our livelihoods and homes. But these ''ordinary riches,'' so fundamental to our well-being, are increasingly exposed to the pervasive risks of a rapidly changing global economy. This compelling and important new book presents a fresh vision for hedging risk and securing our economic future. Shiller describes six fundamental ideas for using modern information technology and advanced financial theory to temper basic risks that have been ignored by risk management institutions--risks to the value of our jobs and our homes, to the vitality of our communities, and to the very stability of national economies. Informed by a comprehensive risk information database, this new financial order would include global markets for trading risks and exploiting myriad new financial opportunities, from inequality insurance to intergenerational social security. Just as developments in insuring risks to life, health, and catastrophe have given us a quality of life unimaginable a century ago, so Shiller's plan for securing crucial assets promises to substantially enrich our condition. Once again providing an enormous service, Shiller gives us a powerful means to convert our ordinary riches into a level of economic security, equity, and growth never before seen. And once again, what Robert Shiller says should be read and heeded by anyone with a stake in the economy.

Book Description
Decoding Mammon is an exposition of the negative assessment of money implied in Jesus' statement, "You cannot serve God and Mammon." On the basis of the theology enshrined in the Old and New Testaments and in the long-term tradition of the church, it is claimed that problems associated with money do not arise simply from the way it is used, but from the nature of money itself. Despite the fact that money has enabled great economic development, and in contrast with the general consensus of governments, economists, and many theologians that money is either a positive or neutral instrument, the book seeks to show that money is a deeply flawed instrument, created by fallen human beings, and fashioned over the years to suit the interests of those in power rather than the needs of people in general. It is argued that money should only be allowed to operate within severe restrictions, and that any reformulation of the global economy as a result of the recent financial crisis needs to be based on this understanding.
