The Value of Money - Ethics and the World of Finance (Hardcover)

This timely study fulfils the need for an ethical examination of global finance which is both theologically and economically literate. Cowley tackles the assumption that economic factors are pivotal in driving globalization forward. She argues that economic factors are themselves driven: they are the working out of underlying phenomena. Of these, the most pervasive and influential is money, not only in the sense of the finance sector, but also money itself, the symbolic properties that it possesses. The Value of Money looks at how these properties shape the nature of the finance sector, its activities, and the relationships within it and with the rest of the economy. It also examines the effect of money on our understanding of freedom, of the market itself and of the ethical, issues arising from this, for individuals, the sector and for society as a whole.
