{"product_id":"dollars-and-sense-sarah-levete-9781433977473","title":"Dollars and Sense: The Banking Industry","description":"It is not common knowledge that the history of banking has deep roots. The first banks have been traced back to the Middle Ages, and the practice of loaning currency goes all the way back to eighteenth century B.C. The services that banks offer go hand-in-hand with the use of money. Readers will learn about the different kinds of banks, including investment banks, private banks, cooperative banks, the Federal Reserve, and the World Bank. They'll read how banks yield profits for shareholders and how account holders earn interest. They'll learn the pivotal role of banks in the global financial crisis of 2008 and what is being done to minimize the risks of such a disaster happening again. Throughout the text, fact boxes explain important financial concepts that are so frequently referenced in the news today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Levete\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433977478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433977473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gareth Stevens Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2012 pg. 9","brand":"Sarah Levete","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48485164351743,"sku":"9781433977473","price":34.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bec8b181-9b0a-472f-8eea-a54bd37c0e49.jpg?v=1778048345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dollars-and-sense-sarah-levete-9781433977473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
