「この世で最も理解しがたいものは所得税である。」- アインシュタイン
アインシュタインが理解できなかったのだから、私たちが理解できるはずがない。通貨の歴史と税制に飛び込もう。この本はイギリスの作家で声優でもあるドミニク・フリスビーが書いた面白い本だ。彼は、現代の通貨制度の欠陥を包括的に探求し、より公平な未来のための代替え的な金融の道を検討するものとして書いてくれている。様々な国で様々な期間に課された特異な税金の歴史的な例が記載されている。この本を読めば現代の税制の合理性や公平性に疑問を抱くかもしれない。
“The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.” – Albert Einstein
If Einstein couldn’t understand it, we sure will never get it. Right? Its ludicrous to say the least. Lets dive into the monetary history and taxation. This book is written by Dominic Frisby, a British author and voice actor. It is a comprehensive exploration of the flaws within the modern monetary system and an examination of alternative financial paths for a fairer future. There are historical examples of peculiar taxes that have been imposed in various countries on several durations. You might even question the current rationale of certain taxation practices and its fairness after going through the book.
This book is written by the author of The Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean Ammous, an internationally best-selling economist and author. He gives lots of thought provoking ideas and examples with data how human civilization has been moving forward with money which is the most important tool of our civilization. Its a University level textbook offering a comprehensive, engaging and easy to read overview of the field of economics.
This book explores the evolution and functioning of money throughout history and around the globe. Author writes about the concept of layered money, which refers to the different forms and levels of money that exist in modern economies. Basically, this provides an intuitive model view of the history, evolution, current state and future of money. As we know gold has been used for thousands of years but civilization found it hard to divide and carry around so they created various layers of money like IOUs issued by the banks with gold on deposit.
This book is written by Saifedean Ammous. I highly recommend this book to those who are interested in finance and technology. This does not contain all the technical details of Bitcoin but you can grasp its current state and the economic impact it will have on our lives. This book explores the history of money, the flaws of the current financial system, and suggests the potential of Bitcoin as a decentralized alternative to central banking. Bitcoin has the potential and is very much likely to become the new global standard of money, which is free from government control and its inflationary policies.
