This text argues that money has brought the world to a condition of unprecedented instability. In the book, the author examines money from a psychological perspective - how men and women feel about money, about its acquisition, possession, loss and absence. Ranging across literature, finance, painting, business and philosophy, he shows how money has colonized the world in both its forms, as coin, banknote or electronic book entry, as well as an idea of happiness in the minds of men and women.
