Money, Money, Money

Lately in class, we've been discussing the issue of money. In the world today, anything and everything is about money. There's no doubt about it; money matters and everything revolves around it. It's known fact that, without money, you can barely survive in this world. In class, we talked about how we as humans just give value to money. When in fact, money is just a piece of paper. When I think about that, I realize that it's right and it is just paper. However, money has become everything, and there's nothing that we can do about it.

The book "The Ascent of Money" by Niall Ferguson is a book about money. He confirms just how much money is essential to us humans in our world. Ferguson writes about the various countries in the world and their financial standing. The issues of wealth and poverty plays a big role the world economy. This book helps me understand how money works and how important it is. Money has become the foundation to life as a human being.
