This book is divided into three sections. "The poetics of money" tells something of the cultural story of money by looking at works of art from the Renaissance to pop and conceptual art, and exploring these different modes of artistic expression as a way to understand how our own attitudes toward money are formed through the cultural messages we digest, both unconsciously and consciously. "The topography of transactions" explores the inner landscape of financial transactions. The third section, "A wealth of transformation" consists of interviews with individuals who have transformed themselves, as they have transformed the world, through social entrepreneurship, philanthropy, philosophical inquiry into money, investing, and spiritual practice.
