About this listen
Learn about the history of Bank Notes with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.
When you think of money, the first image that comes into your head is probably a bank note. We all know what they look like and how you can use them. Bank notes are such a large part of our lives that it is hard to imagine how the world would work without them. That’s why it may surprise you to learn that the bank notes we know today are a relatively recent form of money.
This isn’t to say that people only recently started buying and selling with each other. People have always traded goods and services. Before bank notes, however, almost all money was made of precious metals in the form of coins. We still have coins today, and they work in much the same way they have for thousands of years.

Cryptocurrencies were once believed to be a distant dream when developers first came up with the concept and began exploring potential solutions to bring the dream to life back in the 1990s. However, over a decade after the concept was born, a developer with the alias Satoshi Nakamoto introduced bitcoin. This coin featured revolutionary design concepts that enabled it to work in ways that developers once only dreamed of. Since the emergence of bitcoin, there have been several other cryptocurrencies that have come to the scene to take their own piece of the cryptocurrency pie.

If you had bought and held unto $100 of bitcoin in 2010, you would have approximately $41,000,000 today in February 2022! Those are astronomical gains, but most people didn’t know about bitcoin at that time or understand that it's the future of money. Even today, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and binance coin sound like unintelligible concepts; concepts that only the “experts” - the computer geeks - can understand and take advantage of.

This is an updated version of the book that accurately predicted the global stock market crash of 2008, the bursting of the real estate bubble, and Ben Bernanke's unprecedented overreaction via quantitative easing programs. First published in 2008, the book quickly became a best seller not just for its timely insight into precious metals investment but for its amazingly accurate prediction of a "roller-coaster crash"—the manipulated whipsaw between inflation, deflation, and back again.

The Communist Manifesto of 1848 - the blueprint for modern totalitarian government - promises utopia but delivers dictatorship, poverty and misery everywhere it's tried. Yet many of the tenets of this ideology endure among leftist thinkers, despite repeated and universal failure. The question is why? From barter to free markets, Wolfram explains the nature of money, the creation of wealth and the brilliance of a system based not on the state but rather on millions of unique individuals deciding what is best.

Editorial reviews
A short but sweet introduction to the history of paper money, why we need it, the role of government in its production and regulation, and how it has evolved to the present day. Performer Leah Vandenburg's voice is upbeat and sweet (perfect for kids), while surprisingly funky music plays in the background. This is a nice little history lesson on an object we see every day, and would be useful for school projects, as well as curious kids in general. Even parents might find themselves picking up a few facts.

Excellent Narrator, Good Information.
Added to my library because it was free and I am a fan of numismatics. The narrator was very good, the audio book moved at a good speed and it had good information on when people started putting their money in banks. Wouldn't pay for this audio book but it was free when I added it to my library.
