The Marveled: Feature article

 

         Simply Marvelous!

         I collected comics when I was in my early 20's and have been a Marvel fan every since.  Marvel hit the big screen in 2008 with Iron Man and more title have followed  32 and counting...

                It was great honor to meet Stan Lee twice!  The first time was in late 90's at comic conference and then later on in 2016 at the Fan Expo in Toronto, we met him numerous times in multiple elevators because he used motorized vehicle to move around.

 

             In recent year Marvel Studios has brought so many movies to the silver screen and to streaming.  Moon Knight season 1, Wandavision and Loki were huge success.

  Most recent Marvel Studios and Kevin Fiege announced that they will take it easy on the number of titles being release from a fire hose to more a small release schedule and special presentation.

      

              Stan Lee has done many interviews regarding his career creating this characters.

              I look forward to sharing some small facts you may not be aware of in articles called The Marveled Insight you may have missed...

                                                                                About book:

                     The co-host of the popular NPR podcast Planet Money provides a well-researched, entertaining, somewhat irreverent look at how money is a made-up thing that has evolved over time to suit humanity's changing needs.

Money only works because we all agree to believe in it. In Money, Jacob Goldstein shows how money is a useful fiction that has shaped societies for thousands of years, from the rise of coins in ancient Greece to the first stock market in Amsterdam to the emergence of shadow banking in the 21st century.

At the heart of the story are the fringe thinkers and world leaders who reimagined money. Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor, created paper money backed by nothing, centuries before it appeared in the west. John Law, a professional gambler and convicted murderer, brought modern money to France (and destroyed the country's economy). The cypherpunks, a group of radical libertarian computer programmers, paved the way for bitcoin.

One thing they all realized: what counts as money (and what doesn't) is the result of choices we make, and those choices have a profound effect on who gets more stuff and who gets less, who gets to take risks when times are good, and who gets screwed when things go bad.

Lively, accessible, and full of interesting details (like the 43-pound copper coins that 17th-century Swedes carried strapped to their backs), Money is the story of the choices that gave us money as we know it today. learn more and buy book
