Taken from the great economic theorists of history as well as some of
the greatest fraudsters, quotes and speeches framing the fragile human
relationship with all things financial
Few things are as contentious in life as money, and this book shows just
how careful one has to be when talking about it. From famous economists
to great philosophers, this book includes thoughts by John Maynard
Keynes: "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of
men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of
everyone;" Karl Marx: "From each according to his abilities, to each
according to his needs;" and Albert Camus: "It is a kind of spiritual
snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money." Other
famous entries include Charles Dickens: "[Credit is a system whereby]
a person who can't pay, gets another person who can't pay, to guarantee
that he can pay;" Aristotle Onassis: "If women didn't exist, all the
money in the world would have no meaning;" and Charles Montgomery Burns:
"What good is money if it can't inspire terror in your fellow man?"
