- "[W]hile we're carefully schooled in how to make money, we're left entirely untutored on equally important questions, most importantly: how much is enough ? As a result, the default assumption of our entire society has become 'more is better'. You aim for a good -- read, high-paying -- job, then move up whatever ladder you're on, adjust your lifestyle to whatever you can afford (and often, thanks to credit cards, a little more) and assume that that is natural and obvious. But it isn't, of course. You could just as rationally choose to value time over money. You could just as rationally heed the witness of the Gospels and their insistence that we must choose in the end. All these strategies, practical and moral, appear in the pages that follow. This book serves as a kind of Berlitz for a new language of money, one that considers it as a far more complicated, treacherous and interesting tongue than the pidgin version we've learned in a consumer society". -- Foreword.
