What has humanity actually figured out about money? This collection gathers 456 of the sharpest things ever said on the subject — from Aristotle and Seneca to Warren Buffett and Oscar Wilde — organized so you can dip in for a minute or read straight through.
Money is the one topic everyone has an opinion on, and almost no one agrees. Some of history's greatest minds insist it corrupts everything it touches. Others argue it's simply a tool, no more virtuous or wicked than the hand that holds it. Comedians mock it, philosophers warn against it, and self-made billionaires swear by disciplines any reader can borrow today.
