In graphics, charts, and diagrams, How Money Works demystifies processes and answers the hundreds of financial questions we all have.

With information on the latest forms of funding and currencies such as Bitcoin, this comprehensive book will fast track you to financial literacy and getting the most from your hard-won cash.
