Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
International Finance
Hartley Withers · 1950
55/100
👎 Skip It
This is a real 1916 economics text (not 1950, despite the listing) explaining how international money and the gold standard worked back then — free on Project Gutenberg and genuinely well-written for its era. But it's a history lesson in macroeconomics, not a guide to managing your own money, so it won't help with today's budgeting or saving questions. Interesting for economic-history buffs; skip it if you want practical personal-finance help.
