Terry at his best! From going Postal- Moist Von Lipsvig returns to "save the City! Or to,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Making Money (Audio CD)
The hero(?) from Going Postal gets a new challenge. MAKE money- Vetinari looses this great character on the world of banking. Very similar tale to our recent crash. Can a con man save Ankh-Morpork? With dainty Golems, crazy Artists, crasier bean counters and an Igor for color, Terry's swath of brilliance grows wider! The performer/reader is approaching Jim Dale in talent and enthusiasm. WARNING- if you do not like Puns- avoid this book/tape, (and get a life)
4.0 out of 5 stars
interesting ideas in enjoyable format,
This review is from: Making Money (Audio CD)
The author's writing style is entertaining. The novel is essentially a discussion of economics topics in the format of a fantasy book that is humorous at times. The narration is excellent and perfectly suited to the work.A core economic idea of the book is that the value of gold is imaginary. I like this idea because it is true. The value of gold is imaginary and therefore I don't know why humans like to cause environmental destruction to dig it up. Other ideas went beyond this and I don't know if the author brought these up to be humorous or if he really thinks these things. For example: 100% of rich families got their money by stealing it, if one person does hard work then other people become unemployed, and it is evil for banks to pay interest on deposits and charge interest on loans. John Christmas, author of "Democracy Society" |
