Critics Review
Delightful and deep, Money in One Lesson is a superb account of the strange connections between money and economics. – Tim Harford, author of How To Make The World Add Up

Such ignorance is not bliss. Happily, this book will go far to cure it. – Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator, the Financial Times
A lucid exposition of a widely misunderstood topic, liberally illustrated with nuggets of intriguing information – John Kay, economist
Gavin Jackson has written that rarest of things: an intellectually rigorous and informative book on a technical subject that is also a pleasure to read. Anecdotes, stories and history bring money to life. – Duncan Weldon, author of Two Hundred Years of Muddling Through
A lucid and at times very funny history of money – Stephen Bush, Financial Times
