Money is the most important thing to everyone in the world. If we don’t have money then we can not buy the things we want. Imagine that you have no money, how will you survive in the world? We need money to buy food and water to survive, if we don’t have these things then we can not survive. I learned that money matters a lot in our daily lives.
If we don’t have money we can not have what we want. People in the past had no paper money. Let’s see how they have the things they want. People in the past bartered when they wanted to buy things they wanted. Barter means trading. If you trade an apple for a banana that is called bartering. Bartering is not a good way to trade because if someone doesn't want to trade an apple for a banana, then it will fail. I know that bartering is not a good war to trade, so people need to think of an easier way to trade.
Now, paper money is introduced to our daily lives. People were thinking of a good way to trade. People were thinking about gold and silver but they are too difficult to carry. So people invented paper money. Paper money is easy to carry and it is easy to know the value. So people then use paper money. I learned about how people invented paper money in the past.
Money has changed to be more convenient in our daily lives. Besides paper money, there are checks, credit cards, digital money like paypal, wechat payment and Alipay. If we use digital money, it is easier to carry and buy things. Now people don’t use paper money, it is like a wallet turns into a phone. I learned that money has many types.
I learned in this book why money is important. Next I learned that if we don’t have money what will we do? Then I learned the history of money. Last but not least, I learned that money has different forms. I recommend this book to you if you want to learn the history of money.
