Product Description

Synopsis
Money is one of society's great taboos, yet for most people it is one of life's most important considerations. Through a selection of interviews, this book explores people's attitudes to personal finance. A survey by American Express showed that money is the biggest cause of domestic strife, and that couples' decisions about money were much more heated and painful than about almost any other subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is Money our Servant - or our Master?, 23 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This book is about far more than personal finance. It is a detailed investigation of our (usually habitual and unconscious) attitudes to money and the whole Money System on Planet Earth. It points out that the world's armaments expenditure for example is over $1 trillion per year - arms is the single biggest "economic" activity in the world. Ms Rowe cites studies which show the economic cost of war is far greater than the gain from the production of the weapons. Of course, the West gains while ensuring the costs are only borne in other parts of the world.

Apart from this exploration of how the military ethos completely depends on the idea of money, she also challenges our preconceptions of money in everyday life. Too often we hear that we can't do this or that because tthere is not enough money. But what are the REAL resources that achieve things? MOney is just electronic signals in a computer.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Wisdom of Dorothy Rowe, 11 Jun 2006

By	William Cohen (London) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is the third Dorothy Rowe book I've read in three months. I have to say that there is much reiteration of her ideas in each book.

She's a fun companion. She emphasises that we all create our own meanings, and she is no exception. You could see her as a batty, Guardian-reading, National Health championing, anti-Conservative Australian who doesn't like the idea of God - and you'd be right - but that's just your meaning structure.

I've read quite a lot of self-help books, and I like the way she debunks self-help books, but she can use a broad brush sometimes. Having had problems with debt, I bought How to Get out of Debt and Stay out of Debt by Jerrold Mundis, and I thought this would be a good companion volume.

Rowe does make the point that how we spend money is a reflection of how we perceive our integrity as a person, and if our integrity feels under threat it can force us to use money in a self-destructive way. That's a useful insight, but I thought much of her stuff is opinion rather than fact (just like the Guardian). There goes my meaning structure again!

This book was more about Dorothy Rowe's theories and how money is a factor in them, rather than money itself.

Still, everyone should read at least one book by Dorothy Rowe.
