Money, Heart and Mind by William Bloom

Aimed at changing the way we think and feel about money, this book draws on anthropology, history, politics, psychology, metaphysics and mainstream economics. The author argues that we need to reject the narrow understanding of money as a servant of commerce and reclaim its true identity as a creative facilitator of innovation, relationship and community. His book describes how our economy evolved from a tribal community of natural generosity and sharing into a commercial society of harsh and often irresponsible competition in which we have lost our sense of humane relationship. It argues that in order to change, we have to understand that every money transaction is a communication between people and needs monitoring to test whether it feels good, hurts anyone, and is naturally just. This applies in important matters as well as in trivial ones. Suggesting strategies for individual, collective and corporate financial awareness, the book argues that a more humane understanding of money can provide the basis for the creation of a genuine wealth which supports all members of the global community.
