Conventional explanations of the nature of money are weighed down
by bad ideas and irrelevant historical evidence. The standard
theory of finance is hampered by the lack of both sociological and
ethical contextualization, and by sloppy thinking about numbers and
time. Money, Finance, Reality, Morality addresses those weaknesses
with truly novel models of how the economy, money, and finance
actually work. The book analyses the perception of money as an
economic tool (as compared to a symbolic and sociological object)
as a highly functional quantitative token that assigns numerical
values to the inherently unmeasurable economic activities of labour
and consumption. It looks at finance as an often inferior solution
to economic problems and a tool for helping the poor support the
rich. And it explains how the tolerance of greed makes the
money-finance system the weakest link in modern economies. Money,
Finance, Reality, Morality, written without jargon or maths, will
be of interest to students, teachers and practitioners in economics
and finance, government and politics, religion, and philosophy and
sociology.
