Alice and the Money Tree is an illustrated book that uses a simple Lewis Carroll-type style to explain complex monetary systems to as many people as possible.
The short, 58-page hardback book has been widely applauded as a beginner's guide to finance and a classic in its field.
In this thought-provoking interview, Mark Anderson sits down with its author, J. M. Weston Briggs, to discuss the impact the book made when it was first published, and its continuing relevance today.
Briggs’ work particularly focuses on debt-based fiat currency and argues that the current system creates poverty and concentrates wealth. The author instead advocates for interest-free, debt-free currency as a solution.
