EBS Documentary Prime's hit series "The Face of Money" has been made into a book!

EBS DocuPrime's economic documentary "The Face of Money" has been reborn as a book.
On top of the vivid stories from the field captured in the program, the book adds deeper questions and thoughts.
Scenes that passed quickly and concepts that felt complicated become clearer as you read the book.
In an era where understanding the structure of money is more important than ever, "The Face of Money" continues the questions that began in the video, taking them to a longer and deeper level through the medium of a book.

Where and how does money work in our lives?

We spend money every day.
We live each day by receiving our salary, paying our credit card bills, and paying off loans.
But few people actually ask where money comes from, how it works, and why it affects our lives.
Economics is difficult, complex, and often feels like the domain of experts only.
So we live without knowing.
But in an era like today, where interest rates and prices fluctuate, and words like debt, investment, and cryptocurrency have become deeply ingrained in our daily lives, it's difficult to live without ignorance.
Now is the time to understand 'structure' rather than 'feeling'.

"The Face of Money" starts from this very point.
Through the familiar entity called money, we look into the flow and structure of the capitalist society we live in, as well as the lives of individuals within it.
It is not a simple economic manual, but a socioeconomic exploration that illuminates human behavior and psychology, and the workings of society and institutions, through the medium of money.

Familiar yet unfamiliar: Asking the true face of money

The book consists of six parts in total.
Part 1 examines the origin and history of money, and how it has functioned based on 'trust' in human society.
Part 2 examines in detail how interest can be a means of increasing assets or, conversely, a trap that increases debt.
Part 3 explains the relationship between inflation, nominal wages, and real purchasing power, and explains why we feel poor even when our wages rise.
Part 4 shows how personal debt is not simply a choice, but is systematically created.
Part 5 examines the questions the emergence of cryptocurrencies poses for the existing monetary system, while Part 6 explores the relationship between investment and human psychology from a behavioral economics perspective.

The greatest strength of this book is that it focuses on ‘people.’
The production team traveled to nine countries, including Lebanon, Nigeria, Japan, and the United States, and met with countless people.
From renowned economists to housewives, young investors, and even those involved in bank hostage situations, their experiences and voices vividly reveal how money works in real life.
These are the moments when economic concepts become concrete realities within an individual's emotions and choices.

Defining interest rates as the "price of time," viewing money as a "structure of trust," and connecting the rise of debt, inflation, and cryptocurrencies to individual lives, this book goes beyond simply imparting knowledge.
It makes the reader ask himself:
Where does the money I spend now come from and where does it go? Do I truly understand money and live accordingly?

"The Face of Money" is structured so that even readers new to economics can easily read it.
Complex concepts are explained in everyday language, and examples are filled with vivid life stories.
But the questions and insights this book raises are by no means light.
It makes us reflect on the position of individuals within the current capitalist structure and ask ourselves again about our labor, consumption, savings, investments, and the direction of our lives.

This book says:
If your life feels burdensome right now, it may not be because you don't know about money, but because you don't properly understand how money works.
And the moment you understand that structure, many aspects of life will look different.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to face the real face of money, which is familiar yet unfamiliar.
