Saqi Books has published the Arabic edition of Linda Davies’s “10 Things Everyone Needs to Know About Money”, translated by Reem Tawil. Across 208 pages, the book offers an accessible introduction to the world of money, tracing its origins and explaining how financial systems operate, while revealing the ways in which economic decisions shape our everyday lives.
The book explores saving, considered investment and the building of personal wealth, alongside the risks and misconceptions that can lead to financial loss. It also examines our psychological relationship with money, the importance of nurturing financial literacy in children, and the future of money amid the rise of digital currencies and rapid technological change. Davies further considers how global financial systems affect individuals and offers practical ways to build resilience in times of economic uncertainty.
Drawing on eight years of experience in investment banking across New York, London and Eastern Europe, Davies transforms potentially daunting financial concepts into clear, engaging prose enriched by real-life stories and examples. Written for newcomers seeking to understand money as well as investors looking to sharpen their judgement, the book equips readers to make more informed and confident financial decisions. Davies has also contributed to leading British newspapers, including The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and The Guardian.
