About this book:
Have you ever wondered why we can afford to buy far more clothes than our grandparents ever could… but may be less likely to own a home in which to keep them all? Why your petrol bill can double in a matter of months, but it never falls as fast?
Behind all of this lies economics.
It’s not always easy to grasp what’s happening in our new globalised world. But by following a dollar from a shopping trip in suburban Texas, via China’s central bank, Nigerian railroads, the oilfields or Iraq and beyond, we can start to piece it all together. Why is China the world’s biggest manufacturer – and the USA its biggest customer? Is free trade really a good thing? Why would a nation build a bridge on the other side of the planet?
The Almighty Dollar reveals the economic forces that are shaping our lives – who really holds the power, and how that affects us all.
