The Moneymaker by Janet Gleason (1999)
I read “The moneymaker.” As written, this story is about money.
John Law was gambler, murderer and adventure. He tried to spread an idea of paper money in Paris. Before the paper money invented, people used gold and silver as way to buy things in Europe. But there were not many gold and silver so countries had to pay back a lot of debt. Law thought that the paper money system is the only way to solute the problem. He had many good feiends but also had many enemies. Good friends helped him to spead his idea, enemies tried to disturb him. He overcame many difficulties and he was very lucky man. He lost all his money once, but he always won gambling and got a huge amount of money. However, when he was dead, the paper money system was still doubtful.
Paper money system is normal to us now, I can't imagine the world that we don't use paper money.
This book was difficult for me because level is 5 and the story is very long so it took long time to finished reading. Also, this is not love story or fantasy. This book tell the fact so I felt like I was studying economic science. If you interested in money, you should read this book!
