What Money Really Means | 
By Thomas M. Kostigen. What Money Really Means leads readers on a fascinating exploration of the significance of money. Starting with the invention of hard cash in the form of silver coins, CBS MarketWatch columnist Thomas M. Kostigen and a host of experts--including Yale Economics professor Martin Shubik; Dee Hock, inventor of Visa; and Nobel prize winner Joseph Stiglitz--trace the evolution of money from physical object to electronic promise. Through a series of interviews--with average American families, prison inmates, Donald Trump, welfare mothers, lottery winners, shelter dwellers, and old money heirs--Kostigen provides a multi-layered perspective of money's significance: How much is necessary for survival? How integral is it to identity? Can it mitigate suffering? Can it buy happiness? Kostigen's quest culminates in an enlightening investigation into what, in an ideal world, money should mean. Interviews with prominent representatives of world religions--Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism--reveal the philosophical and spiritual potentialities of money. 6 x 9, 224 pages; Paperback, ISBN 1-58115-259-0.
