This is out this morning:
My thanks to Jim Stone and David Mullins who helped in the production process.
I hope that this might help a few politicians understand just what it is that money is really all about.
The PDF version is still available free of charge. The book has simply been priced as an alternative, without the aim of making a profit.
Thanks for reading this post.

Thanks for letting us know and fingers crossed on its impact.
Let’s hope they read it. Gawd knows, they need to.
I like the metaphor of ‘the magic money tree’ on the front. Nice one.
I’m really pleased to see this in print at last. I much prefer a paper copy for my own reading and have ordered multiple copies for friends and family. Christmas came early this year!
Thanks
I have ordered multiple copies myself…
Me too…. I don’t have a laptop, just a desktop computer, and I find it’s a real pain to read books on a computer; it’s much easier to read a hard copy, and more convienient too. I can read a ‘real’ book where ever/when ever and for as long as I want without being glued to a bloody computer screen.
I ordered mine on Thurs, with freeebie postage, and was told I could I could pick it up from Monday. I received an email yesterday telling me I can pick it up from the post office today! Just as well I didn’t fork out an extra £3.99 for postage, as I don’t think that would’ve been any quicker.
My bro has already demanded first dibs on reading it after I’ve finished, followed by my nephew. I’ve demanded that my nephew return it when he’s finished reading it, otherwise it’ll go walkies going by past experience with lent out books.
Thanks
As they are printed on demand I am astonished they are so quick
@ Richard Murphy
If these books are printed on demand then that is astonishing, as it took just under 3 days to be printed and posted off to me. I ordered it at 9.39pm on Thurs and picked it up at about 10am yesterday on Saturday….. that’s what I call service.
I was surprised by the size of the book as I was expecting a titchy pocket-sized one with a dinky font. It came in an A4 cardboard envelope as it was too tall for an A5 one, and is 147 pages long with really easy to read typeface (no serifs which make my eyes go jiggly after a while) and a decent font size too…. it’s a proper book! So no more wrestling with non-stop scrolling back and forth, losing my place and no more sore eyes from computer glare. As such, I actually gave up trying to read the PDF version less than a third of the way through. I’ll have no such problem with a real live book.
There must be loads of people like me out there who can handle reading short blog posts/replies and newspaper articles online, but who give up ghost when trying to read an entire book online. I think you did the right thing by getting your tweets published in book format; it can only help extend your message.
Thank you
I hate most serif fonts….
When change comes, it often comes more quickly than we would have anticipated.
Few Conservative MPs turned up to support the government. When the Deputy Speaker called for a vote, there was silence from those against.
On Channel 4 news I saw Chris Bryant ( who spoke well earlier) saying Johnson was ‘toast’, and he knew it.
Eric Berne, who invented Transactional Analysis, said people will change when they are 1) bored 2) in a crisis 3) when they can see a new way.
We desperately need new ideas and this has come out at the right moment.
I think ‘toast’ is the word of the day
Seems the Bank of England is launching a competitor: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/112/1120291/can_t-we-just-print-more-money-/9781847943385.html
