This sustained reflection on money, love and virtue is remarkable on several counts. These three themes are seldom mentioned in the same breath, least of all by bankers. And, because they seem to come from different worlds, we might imagine they would make uncomfortable bookfellows.
Nevertheless, the author weaves humanity back into the mesh of society, money and economics. She reminds us of our human interconnections, of the historical purpose of banking and finance, and of the insights – some now forgotten – of great thinkers over the centuries on these themes.
Neither an academic study nor a blueprint for institutional reform, this book invites us to reflect on what it takes to build together a world where money, love and virtue work together, not in contradiction.
