"A sustainable investment expert helps young readers understand how money works--and how spending, saving, donating and investing can change the world. Financial literacy is an important skill in life. At around the age of seven, children develop attitudes and beliefs about money that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Through a story in comic book form about finding a treasure, Your Money and the World enables young readers everywhere to tackle complex concepts, such as what a company is, how banks work, why some backpacks cost more than others, and how money has evolved throughout history. The book explores everything from whether we need to be rich to be happy, to what the price of tulips in the seventeenth century can teach us about our world. Your Money and the World proves that everyone plays a part--by working, investing, donating, saving or spending--in achieving a fairer, more sustainable world. Saving our world requires empowering young readers to understand the importance of their economic choices--for their benefit and for the planet."--Ages 7 to 11.

Let them eat crypto : the blockchain scam that's ruining the world / by Howson, Peter,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.The subject of immense hope, hype, and confusion, crypto has amassed countless headlines in recent years. With cryptocurrencies, NFTs and metaverse markets crashing, the underlying blockchain technology is still promised to solve global development challenges, whilst revolutionising every industry. But is the technology really a silver bullet? 'Let Them Eat Crypto' puts blockchain, cryptocurrency and 'Web3' under the microscope like never before. Peter Howson cuts through the jargon and bluster to tell an alarming story of how right-wing libertarian crypto entrepreneurs-often aided by charities, politicians, and philanthropists-seek out and exploit conditions of poverty, oppression, corruption, and conflict. Their goal? A new front of 'crypto-colonial' extractivism. 'Let Them Eat Crypto' reveals the alarming truth: far from 'banking the unbanked', saving the gorillas, or freeing people from oppressive governments, blockchain offers only false solutions, surveillance, and hi-tech snake oil.

A map of the new normal : how inflation, war, and sanctions will change your world forever / by Rubin, Jeff,1954-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Bestselling author and economist Jeff Rubin looks ahead and warns that the inflation that took the world by surprise in 2021 is in fact the front of a perfect storm of war, supply-chain disruption, geopolitical realignment, domestic upheaval, and energy scarcity that will change everything. During the pandemic, the borrowing patterns of the Canadian government inflated a national deficit by a factor of ten in just two years -- and the time has come to pay for it. The ramifications of international COVID-19 spending could potentially last for decades, and inevitably one of the first manifestations of these consequences will be an unhooking of private lenders' interest rates from central banks. That is just the first symptom of a series of cascading upheavals. Supply-chain disruptions have already shown the vulnerability of the globalism model that has fueled growth for the past decades. War has not only shown the fragility of the status quo, but has revealed diplomatic and economic rifts that promise to shift trading patterns, which means access to markets and to resources. At the same time, the precarity of the US dollar underlines the life-or-death importance of those resources, energy in particular. And consolidation of a Eurasian bloc, from Russia to China, and encompassing old enemies like Iran and former US ally Saudi Arabia, hint that the upheaval of Covid was just the beginning. Tracking trade wars and kinetic wars, central banks and run on banks, pipelines blown up and startups knocked down, The New World Order gives us a glimpse of a near future that will look very different from the recent past. It reminds us that our mortgage rates and job security, our grocery bills and investments, are all tied to events set in motion by governments, corporations, and black swans around the world."--

Gimme a crisis : in the room with global banker Rick Waugh / by Green, Howard,1959-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."In Gimme a Crisis, three-time bestselling author Howard Green profiles former Scotiabank CEO Rick Waugh and sketches an unprecedented and up-close picture of what it is like to run a global bank, often during financial chaos, while leading more than 80,000 employees in more than fifty countries. From navigating a violent economic default and loss in Argentina and a bail-out of the Dominican Republic to surviving the Great Financial Crisis, actively promoting women in banking, and securing the NBA's Raptors for Toronto, Rick Waugh was there. Green captures the riveting stories, intense conflicts, and pivotal moments that occurred at one of Canada's biggest banks, a significant player in international finance. Waugh's unorthodox approach to managing risk offers lessons for steering through economic uncertainty, lessons that will be increasingly relevant as Donald Trump assumes the U.S. presidency for a second time and we enter a new era of global insecurity. His secret formula: when assessing deals, investments, or major decisions, know your downside, never calculate the upside. Let risk guide decision-making, and the upside will take care of itself. Interweaving extensive interviews with Waugh over the course of a twenty-year relationship with the author and access to his personal files with scores of interviews with others who worked closely with Waugh or intersected with him, Gimme a Crisis take readers into the executive suite, revealing the rapid-fire, pressurized decision-making that took place during the most volatile -- and harrowing -- period in Canada's financial system since the Great Depression"--
