Routledge - Money (The Art of Living) - Economics Book

Explore the complex and often misunderstood relationship between humans and money in Money (The Art of Living) by Eric Lonergan. Published by Routledge, this book challenges the standard economic theory that our financial decisions are always rational. Instead, Lonergan provides a provocative analysis of why our reactions to money, credit, and saving often defy logic. By looking beyond traditional models, the author examines how social and emotional forces drive our financial behaviors. You will see how the same psychological patterns found in high-stakes quant trading and global financial markets also appear in everyday activities, such as the mania seen in trading card collecting. This book offers a fresh perspective on why we view money the way we do and helps explain the prejudices that shape our economic lives. It is an essential read for anyone interested in macroeconomics and the human side of finance.
