Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Why is everything getting more expensive?
How do changing interest rates affect your savings?
And what can you do to make your money go further?
The bestselling guide to why your money is losing value (and what you can do about it).
For centuries, working hard and saving up diligently would have set you up for financial security and a comfortable retirement. Not anymore.
Over the last 50 years, we've entered a new financial world - one where your savings lose value faster than you can build them, a global mountain of debt piles up ever higher, and most people slip backwards however hard they try.
In The Price of Money, a leading investment expert explains what's changed - and what you should do now we're here. You'll learn why currencies the world over have lost 99 per cent of their value, and how to use future declines to your advantage. You'll understand how the government can produce hundreds of billions out of thin air, and which investments benefit when they do. Most importantly, you'll be shown what's coming next - and how to position yourself to gain rather than suffer.
You don't need even the slightest knowledge of economics to listen to this book - just a desire to understand why the world of money is working against you, and what to do about it.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
"This brilliant book offers a singularly clear, accessible and funny introduction to where our economic malaise has come from - and how understanding it can help any of us make better financial decisions. I cannot recommend it highly enough." (Iain Dale)
"A pithy and punchy guide that explains in a very engaging and readable manner the essentials of modern finance and economics. It is profoundly useful for anyone wanting to understand why the current global economy is in such a mess, and what that might mean for your own finances." (Gillian Tett, Editor-at-Large of the Financial Times)
"Dix has produced as lucid and comprehensive account of money and its pitfalls as you are likely to find. In an age of elevated prices it is highly relevant to all our lives." (Alex Brummer, City Editor of the Daily Mail)

Brilliant
You’ll never think about money the same way again! Highly recommend this book - feel like I finally understand some concepts I’ve been vaguely aware of for years!

Wonderfully and enjoyably informative
Rob males a potentially intimidating subject accessible to most people. He narrates excellently too, making the subject engaging and a pleasure to learn. Plenty of practical advice too alongside the simple explanations of financial and economical shenanigans. Very highly recommended.

Twenty out of ten! Amazing on many levels
I wasn’t able to get the pdf as the option wasn’t available for this book as it is for my other books.

Refreshing, just what I was looking for.
It was good to find a book that is not written totally from the US perspective, and which unearths the mysteries of the way that economies work and how governments manipulate them. Written in a way that makes it easy to understand what is a complex subject.

Clear with good examples
Robs clear tone, relevant examples and minimisation of jargon make this a very enjoyable listen. Gift this to high schoolers and university students so they can easily digest information that many of us were not given, so they can help their future selves in this world of ever increasing debt and game of economic smoke screens and mirrors played by governments.

Even as someone who works in finance and has studied the subject matter, I found this book insightful and interesting.
I also enjoyed the style of narration and tone of the audiobook.

Basic but solid
Very easy to understand language for explaining the different topic of how money is created, what for and how to best protect yourself to the negative consequences
