Across the set, money is presented as something discussed in everyday settings as well as in high-pressure professional environments, influenced by personal history, ego, pride, marketing and incentives.

Synopses

Psychology of Money

This book argues that doing well with money is not only about what you know, but how you behave. It contrasts the idea of finance as a formula-led subject with the reality that decisions are often made away from spreadsheets, shaped by personal experience and competing motivations.

The Trading Game

Gary Stevenson recounts a journey from growing up in East London to winning a bank-run competition called The Trading Game. The story follows his entry into the City as the youngest trader, the culture around him, and the intensity of becoming the bank’s most profitable trader, dealing in nearly a trillion dollars a day.

Money: A Story of Humanity

David McWilliams presents a history of money over 5,000 years, from clay tablets in Mesopotamia to today’s cryptocurrency. Framed as a journey of innovation, disruption and transformation, it asks whether humanity has changed money, or money has changed humanity.
