Almost nobody was taught this, at home or abroad. The Basics assumes nothing, defines every term on first use, and never rushes you toward a purchase. When you are ready to see the ideas with real money attached, the Account is the working example. And if you are curious where the naira itself comes from, The Naira's Story walks it back to cowrie shells.
