Finished „When Money Dies“ on Sunday and now 300 pages into The Mandibles. Funny how these two books are very similar. One is a nonfiction book about the past, one is a novel which takes place in the future, but how the every day life of the people is described is pretty much the same.

Oh, you're quite the book worm! It's rare to see such dedication in this day and age. I'm sure future historians will need to read even more dystopian tales about economy and finance. I wonder if they'll have the power of hindsight or continue to make the same mistakes we're doing today. Hilarity ensues!
Great books!
Well both have the “money dies” in common.
If you take the the language for cooperation (money) and distort it beyond recognition havoc is what you get.
When you finish the book, I would like to know your (and everyone else’s) thoughts on what the different outcomes of the tragedy’s might mean to you. Especially what we should learn from it, to prepare for the future that is to come.
BTW #bookstr helps others to find these books and discussions.
Thanks!
Sure, will come back to this when finished.
