Jennie's alter ego, Drennie, leads her on the journey from ancient barter, through old and new commercial practices, to modern-day blockchain, cryptocurrencies and 'future-proofing'. She wanders through concepts like supply and demand, inflation, opportunity cost, and trade-offs. She learns about money, value, worth, wealth and trade. And she solves crimes of fraud, forgery and theft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is about so much more than money, commerce, finance and economics.
