Some people work all their lives for it. Some people have vast amounts of it, and some have almost none. Some steal it, some kill for it. Some men and women marry for it. Some people gamble everything they can, hoping to win more of it. Some lie for it, some die for it. Many nations go to war for it. Most of the films we see and many of the stories we read are about people who do many of the above things for it. But what is money?
The modern world is a complex place. Ideologies and religions swirl, entangle with and wage war upon each other. Politically, socially and militarily the world is in upheaval. Economics, commerce and finance move in their own fashion and move many other forces from behind. The whole makes a strangely compelling but disturbing fabric of interwoven threads. And when was it ever different? This book was written with the conviction that if we use the old journalist’s rule “Follow the Money” we can make some sense of that.
