CHAPTER

The Language of Money

This chapter explores the idea of money as a language used to communicate value and preferences through buying and selling, drawing parallels with natural language and emphasizing its symbolic nature. It delves into the concept of rationality in money and markets, discussing historical examples like the tulip mania and Bitcoin to scrutinize rational and irrational market actions. The chapter also touches on learning through trial and error, questioning hypotheses, access to information, market bubbles, inflation, debt, and the impact of printing money on purchasing power.
