Book Synopsis
Money is an evil that does good, and a good that does evil. It is wise to have money, says Pascal Bruckner, and wise to think and talk about it critically. One of the world’s great essayists guides us through the commentary that money has generated since ancient times, as he builds an unfashionable defense of the worldly wisdom of the bourgeoisie.

Trade Review
Pascal Bruckner argues that money, or rather our relationship with money, says everything about us and our private lives… A stimulating and timely essay. * Le Monde *
A challenging and salutary essay, a rare exploration of our ambivalent relationship with money and especially—which is rarer—the hypocrisy that goes with it. * Le Postillon *
On the literary stock exchange, Bruckner is always a safe investment. * Le Figaro *
