Сочинение money makes the world go round

Обновлено: 05.07.2024

Money makes the world go round, they say. Perhaps it is even truer that the world makes money go round, especially in an era of globalisation when capital can flow freely to and from almost everywhere. Money is always looking for places where it will be most profitable and earn the greatest return on investment.

As an individual, you can put your money on deposit in a bank, and as long as the bank doesn’t fail and the economy keeps functioning, you will get interest. Your money is lent out to people, businesses and governments who need it to finance their own projects, perhaps like the ones in the unit case study, and the bank will make its money on the difference between what it pays out in interest on deposits and what it gets in interest from its loans.

If you want to live more dangerously you could buy some bonds, and as long as the organisation or country you’ve invested in by lending it money doesn’t default, you will get your interest payments, and later your bonds will eventually be repaid. To live even more dangerously, buy some shares and share in the profitability of your chosen company. In good times, the dividends will be more than what you would get from bonds, and the shares themselves will increase in value, giving you a capitaL gain if you sell them. But if the company runs into trouble and goes bankrupt, you will be among the last to be paid back, and you may get only part of what you put in, or you may lose all your money.

This illustrates the trade-off between risk and return. The higher the risk of your investment not being repaid, the more you will want it to pay back in return on investment. Venture capitalists like the ones in the unit case study will invest in many different start-ups, knowing that most will fail, but that a few will do reasonably well and one or two will, with luck, hit the jackpot, paying back all the money they lost on unprofitable projects and much more.

From the point of view of investors, the world’s financial markets exist in order to channel money to

profitable investment activities and projects. From the point of view of borrowers such as companies and governments, financial centres exist so that they can find capital on the best terms.

Most investors are not private individuals but institutions like banks, insurance companies, mutuaL

funds (unit trusts in the UK) and pension funds who may, of course, be investing the money of private

individuals indirectly. The markets they invest in include the money and currency markets, stock markets for shares (also known as equities), commodities markets for anything from gold to pork bellies (used for making bacon), and property (buildings and land).

There are also markets for futures in currencies, equities, bonds and commodities: a future is a fixed- price contract to buy a certain amount of something for delivery at a fixed future date.

There are markets for options in currencies, equities, and bonds. Here, an investor buys the right to

buy or sell a certain amount of these things at a certain price and particular date in the future. This is a form of betting on how prices will move.

Some of these markets, like stock markets, are based in particular buildings, some with trading

floors, but most trading is now screen and telephone based. Others, like bond and currency markets, are ‘virtual’, in the sense that selling and trading takes place by phone and computer between the premises of issuers, brokers and traders. (A broker is an intermediary between an issuer of securities such as

bonds, a seller of a property, etc., and potential investors who buy the securities. But with Big Bang deregulation, many brokers of securities are also traders, having their own supplies of securities to sell, and make money on trading or dealing, hence the term securities house.)

CentraL banks like the Bank of England and the European Central Bank are crucial for financial centres because they set basic interest rates (the ‘price of money’), and control money supply (the amount of

money circulating in an economy). Both of these controls have an enormous effect on the economy as a

whole, and on the financial markets, even if the (ink of cause-and-effect between the fundamentats of the real economy and the financial markets is not always clear.

Money makes the world go round

Money is a universal means of payment and a means of exchange. It appeared thousands of years ago. First people used things like animal skin, shells and whale’s teeth, knives, rice and tobacco, precious metals as money. But it wasn’t easy to carry and store them. The money we use nowadays is made of paper and cheap metals. They are banknotes and coins of different value. Countries have their coins and banknotes. They are called national currencies.

Everybody uses money in our modern world. We all need money, we think about it and work for it. It is difficult to imagine today’s life without banknotes and coins, credit cards. Modern technologies have influenced the way of payment: and plastic cards are becoming more and more popular today and they can be accepted even abroad. It’s really convenient and safe for travelers because you don’t have to carry the money in your wallet or exchange the currency in order to make purchases in foreign countries.

I’ve read in the internet that the quotation « money makes the world go round’ was first used in a musical play ‘ Cabaret’.. The phrase basically means that everything in this world would stop without money. To some extent this statement is true because without money you cannot afford a shelter on your head, have food, go from point A to point B, etc.

Money enables us to afford a better quality of life; more money means bigger and better houses and cars, better quality of products, better entertainment. Another advantage is less stress in paying bills and other household expenses. Money may also allow a person to pursue his dreams, for example travelling.

However, we have made money so central to our lives that we place it above life and even happiness. People begin to forget that there are many things that money can’t buy. It cannot buy good health, respect, love, inner peace. A person can have million in his bank account but still feel poor because he is not content with his life . So to my mind, money and happiness are not synonyms.
