Über dieses Buch
A dollar is a dollar—or so most of us believe. Indeed, it is part of the ideology of our time that money is a single, impersonal instrument that impoverishes social life by reducing relations to cold, hard cash. After all, it's just money. Or is it? Distinguished social scientist and prize-winning author Viviana Zelizer argues against this conventional wisdom. She shows how people have invented their own forms of currency, earmarking money in ways that baffle market theorists, incorporating funds into webs of friendship and family relations, and otherwise varying the process by which spending and saving takes place. Zelizer concentrates on domestic transactions, bestowals of gifts and charitable donations in order to show how individuals, families, governments, and businesses have all prescribed social meaning to money in ways previously unimagined.

Rezensionen
"Zelizer has accomplished a rarity, writing a genuinely original book."---Randall Collins, , Society
---
"Zelizer's book is one of the richest and most thoughtful investigations of [money's] weirdness, examining in detail how money works in the real world, how we try to manage and control it, why we freely give it away in some circumstances--think, for instance, of tipping and how money shapes the relationships we have with one another."---James Surowiecki, GQ Magazine
---
"Interesting and informative. . . . Money is a medium of exchange. But that is only the beginning."---John Kenneth Galbraith, New York Times Book Review
---
"Winner of the 1996 Culture Section Book Award, American Sociological Association"
