Mr. Needleman explores, from a personal point of view, the relationship between money, the inner self, and the outer world.
One of his points seems to be that, while money is an important, and sometimes dangerous, factor in our existence, it is also sometimes misunderstood and assigned either too much power, or the wrong role in lives.
Money, in Mr. Needleman's view, is actually an outgrowth of the need for man to create a better, more connected community but, in the modern world, often leads one astray.
A good read, though a little turgid at times.
I do recommend "Money and the Meaning of Life
" by Jacob Needleman.I also recommend the following for those interested in this area:
