Title: Wie viel. Was wir mit Geld machen und was Geld mit uns macht Author: Mareice Kaiser ISBN: 978-3-499-01027-9 Publisher: Rowohlt Polaris Publication Date: 18th October 2022 Format: paperback Page count: 208 Language: German Book pager on publisher site: https://www.rowohlt.de/buch/mareice-k... Mareice Kaiser
Description: Money isn't everything? But money is quite a lot: power, status, livelihood. And the reason for quite a lot of feelings: shame, envy, jealousy. But also security, happiness, freedom. What does money do to us, and what do we do with money?
Mareice Kaiser tells her own money story and meets people with whom she talks about money. From deposit bottle collectors to multi-millionaires, she asks them questions: How much money is enough? How much money makes you happy? Who should have more money? Who should have less? And how could money be distributed more fairly? It is about poverty and wealth, about cold and warmth, about credit cards and reminders, about success and hardship, about opportunities and fate, about power and powerlessness - and about the in-between. It is also a look at a country in which some people have to freeze while others are warmed by underfloor heating.
The result is an analysis that uses personal stories to show a structure that is deeply unjust and determines how we all live together.
