In an article at the Center for Disease Control’s website called “Childhood Obesity Causes and Consequences,” the CDC issues the warning that a primary cause of excess weight gain in children is “eating high-calorie, low-nutrient foods and beverages” such as sugary drinks. Most people hearing the term “sugary drinks” think of soda exclusively; however, the category is much broader. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, “sugary drinks consist of fruit drinks, soda, energy drinks, sport drinks, and sweetened waters.” In an attempt to alert us to the prevalence of sugar in commercial beverages, the Journal of Public Health Dentistry has compiled a list of what it considers sugary drinks, adding sweetened teas to the category. And finally, in the “Advice for Patients” section of the journal Nutrients, examples can be found of several sugary drink types including fruitades such as Gatorade and lemonade, fruit-flavored drinks like Kool-Aid and Fruit Punch, sodas such as Coke, Pepsi and 7Up, and energy drinks like Monster or Red Bull. These drinks are found in most American homes and often considered healthy. But Jennifer Pomeranz in the Journal of Public Health Policy warns that sugary drinks are the largest source of added sugars in most children’s diet and also their main source of calorie intake. When children drink soda, Pomeranz continued, they take in more calories than they can immediately use, and the unspent calories get converted into fat.

Book Review. Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing by Jacob Goldstein
Of all the inventions we rely on to get through the day, nothing is as strange as money. Currency is a national bedrock that sits alongside anthems and flags; our cash — from pristine $100 bills to dog-eared 5 pound notes — seems solid, official and enduring. At the same time money is a confidence trick: an i.o.u. printed on cheap material that promises the holder nothing but more paper money. The evolving paradox of modern currency — foundational yet resting on faith — is the central theme of “Money,” a sweeping new history by Jacob Goldstein.
The main thread is set out right away: Money “seems cold and mathematical and outside the realm of fuzzy human relationships,” Goldstein asserts. But it’s really “a made-up thing, a shared fiction. Money is fundamentally, unalterably social.” The early chronicles of cash show how societies move from monies with intrinsic value (commodity currencies, like salt, or coins made from precious metal) to paper currencies that are valuable because they are tools — ways to exchange goods and services.

Richard Davies writes a book review of Jacob Goldstein’s, Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing, and expresses how “strange” he believes money is. He explains that money has an assuring feel even though it is just “an i.o.u. printed on cheap material that promises the holder nothing but more paper money.” Goldstein expresses how money is not a natural human construct. He also states that money is just a “social” ploy and won’t be changed.

In the book The True Story of a Made-Up Thing , Goldstein highlights the most important topic in the begging, stating that money is a man-made tool that is cold within human relationships. It has no value to society and Ricard Davies points out that it is only a demonstration of a transfer between commodity currencies to paper ones to “to exchange goods and services”.

Money, while it may seem essential to everyday like it is just something that was made up and now decides out entire lives such as if we can go to college, where we can go to college, if we need to get a job, where we can get a job, what clothes we can buy and who we can be friends with. A piece of paper or a coin decides this entire fate for us even though it is just a thought someone had to make up the idea of money. “A made-up thing, a shared fiction. Money is fundamentally, unalterably social,” says Jacob Goldstein in his book, Money: The True Story of a Made Up Thing.

Money is being viewed in a new light and some believe that it does nothing than provide a cheap gift that doesn’t mean much in the long run. One of the people who believes this is Jacob Goldstein, who claims in his book “Money” that money is not a true source of useful currency-it has a greedy grip on humans and controls society. Similarly, Richard Davies makes similar statements in his review of Goldstein’s novel. He believes that money “seems solid, official and enduring.” These bold views certainly change the way money is viewed and prompt humans to consider if it truly provides them with a fulfilling life.

It seems as if today’s world and its interactions are run solely on money. According to Richard Davies in a book review called “The Fiction That Makes the World Go Round,” money is nothing more than an i.o.u. or a confidence trick. The act of exchanging money is simply a promise of more paper money for the holder. In the book Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing by Jacob Goldstein, money “seems cold and mathematical and outside the realm of fuzzy human relationships”. It is a straightforward process that is not a common human construct in society.

In the article, “The Fiction That Makes the World go Round,” “currency is a national bedrock that sits aside anthems and flags.” Money is just a rectangular piece of paper that has different values on it but it somehow controls the way the world functions. The way Jacob Goldstein asserts that money “seems cold and mathematical and outside the realm of fuzzy human relationships,” indicates that people can be so coldhearted and not care about a single thing when it comes to getting money.

The most valuable asset of money is merely a promise of value rather than an actual item of worth. In fact, money only promises you more money or more variations of it starts Richard Davies’ claim. Davies claims that the value of paper currency isn’t even worth the poor quality paper that it is printed on. The paper currencies worth is in its convenience, “paper currencies that are valuable because they are tools–ways to exchange goods and services,” Davies states. It has nothing to do with the money itself, but what it represents which is a measure of worth for assets. You technically use anything as a means of barter and purchase Davies explains, “Currencies like salt, or coins made from precious metal.” However paper fiat money has established itself as the means of common value.

There is no doubt that the value of money has shifted over time and will continue to shift for centuries to come. Richard Davies expands on this idea in his book review of Jacob Goldstein’s Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing. He is aware that in early human civilizations money was items that had actual value like food or gems, and now it is simply a piece of paper with a hypothetical value. Davies even goes as far to say that money is printed on cheap material that promises the holder nothing but more paper money. This is a why he refers to the concept of money as a paradox because it controls our lives while simultaneously having no real value.

The concept of currency is a “made-up thing, a shared fiction,” according to Jacob Goldstein, author of Money: The True Story of a Made Up Thing. The worth of items has become ambiguous with the introduction of currency; rather than a true worth, items are given a numeric value in currency. While the foundation around money can be seen as very flimsy, Richard Davies, the reviewer of Goldstein’s book, believes currency is “foundational yet resting on faith.” Worth can fluctuate constantly due to this characteristic of currency.
