Why Should I Book A Finance Speaker?

Without finance, a business idea will never become anything more than that, an idea.

Finance speakers can offer expert knowledge on how to use financial resources to benefit your business. 

Our speakers have the industry expertise and personal passion to talk confidently about the economy, sharing their knowledge of both the downfalls of the past and prospects for the future of global finance.

What Is The History Of Finance?

Money started with the same intention that it has today - a bartering tool to use in exchange for a product or service. Prior to traditional methods of money transactions, small communities would exchange food or clothing of a predetermined worth. As communities grew, leaders started to enforce taxes and communal services were created for the people to use, meaning that methods had to change.

To overcome this, items were used to represent money (IOU’s), which could be saved or spent at the person’s pleasure. After objects like Whales' teeth and barley ran their course, metal money was used to reflect the intrinsic value of the purchase.
