"What is the root cause of inflation? { } Too much money in circulation. { } Demand for goods exceeds supply. { } Increase in the cost of production. { } All of the above. { } None of the above. For millennia, the waywardness of inflation has vexed economists and financial experts alike yet neither individuals nor nations have succeeded in coming to grips with it.

This book, written by a non-economist, in a style readily comprehensive by lay persons (who are not adverse to a modicum of basic maths), delves into the arcane world of money, commerce, banking and finance to wring out the shocking truth about inflation from the shadowy depths. These pages will indelibly alter the reader's perception of money and leave the worlds of banking and economics both shaken and stirred. "
