What do our money habits reveal about us? Are we predisposed to save or spend, use cred cards, tip lavishly, gamble? Is money related to control? Do men and women differ in money behaviour? Whey are we uncomfortable talking about personal money? The author explores these questions to show how money is emotional tender as well as legal tender. She argues that attitudes to money are loaded with personal meanings rooted in childhood and often irrational - in contrast to the economists' notion that money is a neutral medium of exchange. Her book offers insights into the psycho-social forces that mould our behaviour.
