Money for Dummies

Martin Mygind is a Danish writer, economist, and consultant, who has a much more user-friendly take on money and macroeconomics, giving everyone, regardless of prior experience, the opportunity to understand the dynamics of our societies.

Martin brings his unique perspective, which he gained both from working in banking in the hectic years of the financial crisis, and later, from building startups in South Africa, among them, Zando. The hectic hey-days of e-commerce startups taught him the value of sorting out all unnecessary noise and focus on the core issues and dynamics of the business.

Martin realized that the same approach was extremely useful, when applied to the understanding of macroeconomics, which is heavily clouded in political, legislative and media noise. And after realizing that central banks and politicians were making the same mistakes again, and that the world was once again going to suffer for it, he decided to publish the book: ‘The little guide on Money, Economic busts, and Financial Bubbles’ (No English translation yet), where he accurately predicted the stagflationary environment the west is experiencing right now and proposes a much more sustainable alternative.

In his talks, he shows the reader how market dynamics are a product of human nature and therefore very easy to understand yet still so infinitely complex that our attempts to manipulate them to our own advantage always backfires into unintended consequences and financial bubbles.
