Great suggestion. Also, might I recommend The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous. Half the book is about money in general, not just Bitcoin. Very well written.

I couldn’t think of a worse suggestion for a typical person looking for money management skills.

Sure, half the book isn’t about bitcoin, but half of it is, and that’s a problem for the 99% of people that will and should never interact with Bitcoin.


It's also a highly opinionated book, which is another problem for many readers.


Yeah, found that out from Goodreads as well. Most people think the middle 1/3 of the book is nonsense.

Most people should read more of a “home economics 101” type of book or cheat sheet. Most people don’t need to know how the global economy works.


I think Khan Academy recommended somewhere else in this thread may be a great choice for many people. Sal was a hedge fund analyst before starting his project, and he's a great teacher. I'd note, however, he has a classical liberalism bias, but for the most part he manages to stay reasonably objective.


I wouldn't say it's much about money management skills. It is an explanation about the money phenomenon and its properties. But okay, it's probably not something you can read in an hour.
