David Boyle introduces us to alternative cash and people who can conjure money – that is, spending power – out of nothing.Until recently, the growth of alternative cash had been the province of big business: phone cards, stamps, air miles and Tesco’s clubcard points all have purchasing power, yet are not cash as we know it. Now, locally created money systems like ‘time dollars’, ‘Womanshare’ and ‘Ithaca hours’ are being invented by communities...

Kasiinos võidab alati maja, hipodroomil kihlveokontor. Investeerimisega on lugu sama, leiab „Aruka investori taskuraamatu“ autor John C. Bogle. Ta on veendunud, et aktsiaturgudel on võitjaks finantskrupjeed ning kaotajaks investorid. 1974. aastal Vanguardi ja 1975. aastal maailma esimese indeksifondi asutanud Bogle leiab, et kui vähendada aktsiatega kauplemise osakaalu, suureneb märgatavalt võimalus teenida õiglast osa turu tootlusest.

Nelikümmend viis aastat on möödas raamatu „Juhuslik ekslemine Wall Streetil“ esmatrükist. Selle sõnum oli lihtne – investoritel on märksa kasulikum osta ja hoida indeksifondi kui möllata väärtpaberite või aktiivselt juhitud fondide osakutega. Ligi pool sajandit hiljem usub raamatu autor Burton G. Malkiel oma algsesse teesi veelgi enam. Võib küsida, et kui põhisõnum on sama, milleks siis kaheteistkümnes väljaanne? Aga seda põhjusel, et aastate jooksul on aktsiaturu kohta esitatud sedavõrd palju...
