The Real Meaning of Money by Dorothy Rowe
A groundbreaking new book in which Dorothy Rowe brings her insight and wisdom to the fascinating subject of money and its place in our lives No one escapes the power and effects of money. How we feel about money is central to how we live our lives. It is a fundamental part of how we construct our world – the way we think, the way we interact, the way we order our priorities, the way we maintain our sense of identity. Understanding money is a matter of understanding ourselves. In The Real Meaning of Money, eminent psychologist Dorothy Rowe unravels the vastly complex network of paradoxes making up our daily lives to show how the individual meanings we create, particularly those concerning money, are a fundamental part of the social, economic and political world we all live in. She not only helps us reach an understanding of the real meaning of money, but also helps us look behind our assumptions, interpretations and judgements to reveal the nature of our thinking for what it is. An acutely insightful, thoroughly thought-provoking analysis, extraordinary in its breadth and wisdom – possibly her best book ever.‘A very important book about one of the last social taboos – with fascinating implications for us all’
Helena Kennedy, QC
