Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the historical suspicion towards money and merchants, tracing its roots through the Axial Age and its evolution in Greek, Confucian, and Christian traditions, extending into the Middle Ages. It examines how these cultures grappled with the implications of money, particularly in relation to purity and moral concerns. Utilizing Hanna Arendt's insights, the author critiques modernity's shift towards thoughtless cognition driven by abstract systems and neoliberalism, highlighting the tension between productivity and moral questioning in contemporary society.
