- the historical basis for money as a medium of exchange
- the difference between "money" and "currency"
- the trouble governments get into when they "make money"
- the problems that coming with backing currency with silver
- the "good sense" of the gold standard
- and more.

The ABC of Money: Lessons from a Tycoon offers a highly readable discussion of a basic concept of economics.
