Reviews

Perhaps more businesses and aspiring millionaires in the United States should pay attention ... They could do worse than be apprentices to this book. Friends Journal The use of money to achieve social aims and objectives is a central concern to everyone who wishes to make a positive contribution to society. The high calibre of the contributors and the breadth of views expressed makes this book a unique contribution to public debate. Lord Best, Joseph Rowntree Foundation Money is a force for good or evil depending on how individuals choose to use it. This admirable book sets out multiple ways in which the human condition can be improved through the trading, giving, stewarding and multiplying of money. Sir Paul Judge, Royal Society of Arts
