PRAISE FOR MYTH OF MONEY
"Myth of Money is an adrenaline-filled and insightful journey into how our modern global financial system works (or doesn't), and how bitcoin could reduce wars and be the ultimate store-of-value for the internet generation. This would have been way more helpful than my economics textbooks."
--CHRIS PAN, Social Entrepreneur and Ohio State University Commencement Speaker
"Koffman has written a profound and impactful book that sheds light on the hidden truths of our financial systems. Her work is both intelligent and necessary."
--HON. JERRY S. GRAFSTEIN, KC, Former Senator of Canada
"Koffman's Myth of Money defies an easy description. It is at once a well-researched, and provocative treatise on the past, present and future of money and also a deeply personal memoir of someone who defied the odds to rise to the top of her field. Those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of our next economic and financial frontier should read Myth of Money. An engaging, and highly readable book!"
--ALEX TAPSCOTT, Bestselling Author of Blockchain Revolution
"A rare blend of storytelling and economic theory, Koffman's book challenges the status quo and offers new possibilities for the future of money. This book is required reading for anyone interested in the future of the global economy."
--BRETT LEVE, Founder, Summit
"Koffman's exploration of the financial world is both enlightening and deeply personal. Her ability to blend economic analysis with her hard-earned life lessons makes this book a must-read."
--JAY ROSENZWEIG, Investor, CEO of Rosenzweig & Company
