Making Money	comment	The 36th book in the Discworld series, Making Money returns us to Moist von Lipwig, who has taken to breaking into his own building and stealing his own possessions to alleviate the boredom of living a more virtuous life. Since Going Postal, he has become a major figure in the city and is tipped to become the next chairman of the Merchant's Guild. Vetinari, realizing that Moist would be much more useful if he redirected this bored energy towards a new project, offers him the chance to revamp the Royal Mint in much the same fashion as he revived the Post Office.Topsy Lavish, the current majority shareholder of the Royal Bank of Ankh Morpork, spies Moist for what he is immediately — a dirty, scheming crook who she can certainly trust. Naturally, when she dies not long after meeting him, she leaves all of her shares to her pet dog... and leaves her pet dog to Moist. Her family, objecting to the bank falling into the hands of a non-relative, go to great lengths to bribe, torment and even attempt to kill Moist.Meanwhile, Moist's fiancee Adora Belle Dearheart has been away on a dig, and Moist has been fighting off the advances of Gladys the golem. While both of these seem relatively innocent, they will eventually evolve into much bigger problems, which could cause Moist even bigger issues should things go wrong...Preceded by Thud!, followed by Unseen Academicals. Preceded in the Moist series by Going Postal, followed by Raising Steam.

As anyone could see that Bent had natural clown talent, rather than send him to the Clown Guild to be taught, his father dressed him up like one and put him out in front of the circus audience where, to Bent's horror, they laughed at him.

Compare and contrast their ways of subtly threatening someone. Cosmo makes a few oblique references to the past, making it clear he remembers what this person did and what they would not like to come out. Vetinari, on the other hand, chats about genuinely completely unrelated topics, well aware that the person he's talking to knows exactly what he has over them without having to say a word about it.

Making Money / int_1ec3eb0a	comment	As a part of Cosmo's attempts to mimic Lord Vetinari, he wears a copy of the Patrician's ring that is much too small for his hand. The blood supply to his finger is so severely compromised that the finger eventually becomes gangrenous, only being unnoticed because of the gloves Cosmo wore. We don't get a proper description of the result, but it has "green mushrooms" and Moist notes the "colors" and the "wriggling things", and the stench causes a bystander to throw up. Moist tricks Cosmo into exposing the ring to direct sunlight, and the special properties of the metal it's made of cause the ring to get super-hot and burn his finger clean off (saving his life from further gangrene and resulting septicaemia).

However, when he disappears Moist learns that not only did he keep the bank running, he was beloved by the same staff because his attention to detail and high standards meant that he demanded the best from his staff and fought for them to be paid accordingly (no small feat considering the greedy owners of the bank). It also meant that any former employee of his could land pretty much any job in the plains just because of the prestige. All in all, it becomes evident that he cared about the workers as much as he cared about the work.

He has his enforcer kill both men once they finish their work to keep his obsession secret (the jeweler who makes the ring doesn't help his case by engaging in a bit of blackmail). This backfires on Cosmo since the ring is far too tight (although he's too enthralled with it to notice) and the eyebrow device is faulty and gives him a black eye. The dead craftsmen are in no position to fix them.

The Assassins also won't accept a contract on someone who already has one, so by hiring them to kill Moist if he fails to protect Mr. Fusspot, Topsy was actually protecting him from her murderous in-laws. Although this case is less "standards" than "rules". Vetinari does a lot of morally ambiguous things for the good of the city, but killing old ladies isn't among them. To imply that he would commit such an act is a very dangerous move indeed. Moist will admit to his crimes in a courtroom, but takes umbrage at being compared to the Lavishes, who have committed far worse atrocities than he ever did. Moist notes he learned a lot from his old partner-in-crime Cribbins, and then spent a good many years trying to unlearn it.

Making Money / int_504a1991	comment	Body Horror: As a part of Cosmo's attempts to mimic Lord Vetinari, he wears a copy of the Patrician's ring that is much too small for his hand. The blood supply to his finger is so severely compromised that the finger eventually becomes gangrenous, only being unnoticed because of the gloves Cosmo wore. We don't get a proper description of the result, but it has "green mushrooms" and Moist notes the "colors" and the "wriggling things", and the stench causes a bystander to throw up. Moist tricks Cosmo into exposing the ring to direct sunlight, and the special properties of the metal it's made of cause the ring to get super-hot and burn his finger clean off (saving his life from further gangrene and resulting septicaemia). And then there's Cribbins' exploding dentures, which finally give up the ghost and violently shatter while inside his mouth. "He made a noise like someone trying to scream, except that even screaming was too painful".

While stable in small quantities, such as those needed for a ring, larger shards (even enough to make a small blade) build up to an unstable critical mass. The Assassins' predilection for the metal stems from its main quality: it absorbs virtually all light that touches its surface, rapidly heating it unless it's kept in darkness, fitting their preferred style. Even a few moments of sunlight are enough to turn the ring white-hot.

Making Money / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Mild, in-universe case; Moist reflects that you never see a tall, slim Hubert, and Hubert Turvy is no exception. Also a meta-version for the Lavishes: the adjective of 'lavish' means 'sumptuously rich, elaborate or luxurious', and the Lavish family are definitely that. Also, the Lavishes mentioned by name are all named after luxury items: i.e. Cosmo = Cosmopolitan, a cocktail that is generally regarded as sophisticated; for added PTerry trademark wordplay, cosmopolitan is also a term meaning worldly-wise and experienced in the world at large. Pucci = fashion house that came to prominence during the 1950's; fans include Marilyn Monroe, and Madonna. Cosmo's name also nods towards Cosimo de Medici, a banker who sought political power rather more successfully, and who had an ally named Puccio Pucci (ancestor of the fashion house founder). Mavolio Bent's name references the teasing that he has a dark secret. "Mavolio" is a play on the name of Shakespearean stuffed shirt Malvolio from Twelfth Night, whose name means "ill will." His surname Bent can be used colloquially to mean "dishonest" or "corrupt."

Knowing the Lavish family, this could be a) because no one wants to be sued by their travelling army of lawyers for mentioning them or simply b) they're so damn petty and mean that no one wants to acknowledge them unless it's required.

Making Money / int_81c4faa3	comment	Entertainingly Wrong: Vetinari asks Moist to run the Royal Bank and the Mint. After surveying the place, Moist declines. Vetinari asks him to sign a statement to that effect and assures him that the matter won't be raised again. That night, Mrs Lavish, the current chairwoman of the bank, dies and leaves her share in the bank to her dog and the dog to Moist. Moist understandably thinks that Vetinari may have had a hand in Mrs Lavish's death, a belief that makes Vetinari quite angry. Her death was entirely natural- she was an old lady who'd been quite ill for some time- but given the timing, you can't really blame Moist for thinking it.

And his unnaturally large feet. As Professor Flead explains how the Umnians worshipped gold, he offhandedly mentions that they clothed their priests in it.

Secondly, because all coins have to be handmade, employees at the mint have to create their own wages... as well as the currency for general use by the population.

Later, Moist claims that only a woman would assume (as Adora Belle is currently doing) that just because she's got what she considers an ironclad explanation for why what she wants to do is the correct thing to do, everyone else is just going to go along with it.

However, Lords and Ladies makes it clear that magnetism is an obscure force in Discworld, almost wholly unknown to the Wizard community, and the word "magnetism" doesn't exist at all; the only ones with any sort of familiarity with it are Blacksmiths, who refer to it as "The Love of Iron". Although Ponder Stibbons seems curious about it at the end of that book, it seems unlikely to have been studied beyond the High Energy Magic department, certainly not to the point of being given a name and being used as an idiom by students of a different department.

So, Moist knows if he wants to win over people with this new paper money currency, these are the men to convince. Later, in the courtroom, Moist is up against the blackmailing Cosmo and Cribbins on one side and the law with Mr. Slant on the other. He fears trying to fight both so he can stay out of jail and deal with his blackmailers as it is a tricky situation. One Courtroom Antic later, and Moist sees the only truly smart move to play is to come clean and confess to his past crimes.
