The #coronavirus #pandemic is teaching many people now the importance of #finance. However, as I argued in my 2013 book The Necessity of Finance, learning finance is not an option, it is a necessity. Not just in times of crisis, but ALWAYS! The finance button should always be on.
In these challenging times, it is important to recognize the value of companionship; which was listed in The Survival of the Richest book as a secondary physical immediate survival essential (Criniti, 2016, p. 101). So many survivors of great tragedies in history have ranked loneliness as their top issue along with hunger and thirst. To be happy, we need people like we need air. This will also be the great lesson for the world of this current major event.
Principle 136 from The Most Important Lessons in Economics and Finance book: “The history of money explains almost everything in history” (Criniti, 2014, p. 168).
