Strange Money is a book that helps the average young man and women better understand the world of money, finance and the economy. Today’s world is a consumer-based society. As long as we, the consumers, spend money to buy things, everything will be okay. The problem with a consumer-based economy is that it allows only a few to get rich. Everyone else never gets rich because they spend all they have to buy things. The best way to combat just being a consumer is to educate yourself about how money really works.
