Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the historical suspicion surrounding money and merchants, particularly during the Axial Age, when coinage became widespread. It examines how Greek, Confucian, and Christian traditions grappled with the implications of money, leading to a dialectic of purity that persisted into the Middle Ages. Utilizing Hanna Arendt's insights, the author critiques modern society's tendency toward thoughtlessness driven by abstract systems and profit motives, highlighting the shift from critical thinking to mere problem-solving in contemporary life.
