Opis

Comprehensive and cross-cultural, this work examines such diverse subjects as: money and power, gender differences, morality and tax, the very rich, the poor, lottery and pools winners, how possessions and wealth affect self-image and esteem, why some people become misers and others gamblers, spendthrifts and tycoons, and why some people gain more pleasure from giving away money than from retaining it. Integrating literature from many disciplines, the book should be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists and to people interested in business and economics.
