    About this ebook

    What is Money? is Etan Boritzer's 8th title in the best selling What is? book series on Life Concepts on character education and social issues.  What is Money? opens up discussion for children on issues of financial responsibility, both practical and ethical. Encouraging children to learn about and understand the true value of one of man's most intriguing inventions, What is Money? is a way to examine the history of money, as well as the realistic applications and moral questions associated with its use. With many questions and some gentle suggestions, the author attempts to let children develop their own answers and facilitate their own analytical thinking in exploring this most basic and intrinsic mode of human exchange.
