Podcasts about what money can

How can Christian leaders face the "overwhelm" of our times, in politics and national life, in personal life and relationships, and in ministry? We live in an age of what our guest today calls "polycrisis." Issues interconnect, pile on, and come hard and fast, faster than we can fix or, often, respond to in a thoughtful or Christian way.How do we avoid either inaction or anxiousness?We'll seek what our guest today calls "apocalyptic clarity." And we'll ask, "How do we recognize what's true, despite appearances, resist what's false, and participate joyfully in what God is doing?" This turns out to be a helpful window to perspective and practical decision making in a 21st-century Christian life. Our guest today is the Rev. Dr. Jesse Zink, principal of Montreal Diocesan Theological College and canon theologian in the Diocese of Montreal. And we'll be discussing his latest book, Faithful, Hopeful, Creative: 15 Theses for Christian Witness in a Crisis-Shaped World. He's also the author of four books about Christian history and global Christianity, as well as an introduction to theology and mission in the Episcopal Church called A Faith for the Future.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Steven Felix-Jäger to discuss his book The Problem and Promise of Freedom: A Public Theology for the Church. As an artist, scholar, and minister, Dr. Felix-Jäger explores how the church can cultivate a faithful public witness through generosity, hospitality, and a biblically grounded understanding of freedom—without falling into the traps of culture wars and power-seeking.We discuss the dangers of politicized theology, the role of the church in societal issues like immigration and justice, and how Christians can balance civic engagement with their ultimate allegiance to God's kingdom. Dr. Felix-Jäger also shares insights on consumerism in the church, the importance of discernment in modern political discourse, and how the church can embody the radical love of Jesus in a deeply polarized world.Guest Bio:Dr. Steven Felix-Jäger is an artist, scholar, minister, and educator whose work explores the intersection of faith and culture. He is an Associate Professor of Theology and Worship, Chair of the Worship and Media Department, and Director of Academic Research at Life Pacific University in San Dimas, California. He holds a PhD in Theology from the University of Wales, an MFA in Visual Art from Azusa Pacific University, and an MA in Ministerial Leadership from Southeastern University. His latest book, The Problem and Promise of Freedom: A Public Theology for the Church, examines how the church can faithfully engage in public life without becoming captive to political ideologies.Resources & Links:

Join us for an enlightening conversation with one of the world's foremost public intellectuals, Michael Sandel. Renowned for his exploration of pressing moral dilemmas, Sandel's influential books, including "The Tyranny of Merit" and "What Money Can't Buy," offer profound insights into contemporary issues through the lens of history. Sandel will be in conversation with Anant Goenka and Aakash Joshi of the Indian Express.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveThis week, our in-house philosopher and very own Editor-at-Large returns to the podcast for a one-on-one discussion with about wealth, ambition and whether they are the paths toward happiness.How do societal values, especially those in American culture, influence our sense of fulfillment? The guys probe why those who are perceived as the most successful — like tech entrepreneurs and posh weekend travelers — seem to be the least happy. This opens up questions about how those who face adversity find forms of happiness be it through a craft, a spiritual pursuit, or the broader expectations baked into their life circumstance. This deep and free-wheeling episode opens up rifts between Shadi and Sam's perspectives on the utility of the happiness literature, the role economics and material success play, and what we sacrifice in the pursuit of what we think will ultimately bring us contentment.In the full episode (for paying subscribers only), Shadi and Sam continue exploring the tension between ambition and spiritual fulfillment. They explore how societal values, rooted in seeing humans as economic entities, lead to existential despair. Shadi calls attention to how religious practices, like Ramadan, compel individuals to break from a regimen of relentless productivity and consumption.

In this fascinating episode of Healthy Love and Money, our host Ed Coambs had the pleasure of speaking with Cara Macksoud of Money Habitudes. Cara shared her journey from working on the New York Stock Exchange trading floor to her current work with Money Habitudes, and how her upbringing and family provided her with the strength to challenge the status quo. Listen in as she discusses her experiences of being told to "go back in her box" and how she responded to and shattered these expectations with confidence and pride. Ed and Cara explore how healthy competition can exist in intimate relationships and how partners can spur each other on to do better. Drawing from Michelle Obama's book, they discussed the idea that neither person in a relationship should win all the time and how couples can learn to flex their comfort zones to satisfy the other person and themselves. Throughout the conversation, they touched on various topics such as the power of authenticity, the impact of privilege on parenting, and the complexities of money and healthcare. Cara's unique perspective and experiences have led her to advocate for valuing people for their differences and recognizing the potential of what can be accomplished when everyone brings their own uniqueness to the table.

De ondertitel van dit boek van Michael Sandel is, over de toekomst van de democratie Sandel is hoogleraar politieke wetenschappen aan Harvard University. Hij is professor sinds de jaren 1980s en auteur van verschillende boeken, zoals met 'What Money Can't Buy', en 'The Tyranny of Merit' (2020). De Nederlanse vertaling verscheen in 2021 en we lazen de zevende druk van De tirannie van verdienste. Het is een goed boek met 300 pagina's en een uitgebreid noten apparaat. Het boek geeft je een goed inzicht over de beperkingen van de meritocratie. De gevolgen van het geloof dat je zelf verantwoordelijk bent voor je succes en vindt dat je het dus verdient. Na de proloog en inleiding kent het boek zeven hoofdstukken: Winnaars en verliezers ‘Groot want goed': een korte geschiedenis van ‘eigen verdienste' De retoriek van het opklimmen Credentialisme: het laatste aanvaardbare vooroordeel Succesethiek De sorteermachine Waardering voor werk Conclusie Inleiding De inleiding begint met het verhaal over de fraude van ouders die probeerden hun kinderen op elite-universiteiten binnen te krijgen. Sandel laat zien dat de toelating tot een topuniversiteit wordt gezien als de hoofdprijs. Naarmate de ongelijkheid toenam en de inkomenskloof tussen mensen met en zonder universitaire opleiding breder werd, nam het belang van een universitaire graad toe. Hij noemt in de inleiding ook het geloof van de studenten dat je met schitterende cijfers en legitieme referenties werden toegelaten werkelijk op eigen kracht is, maar de rol van geluk en waar ze zijn geboren zien ze over het hoofd.  1 Winnaars en verliezers Interessante analyse van de winst van Trump. Het reële mediane inkomen van mannen in de werkzame leeftijd is $ 36.000, en dat is lager dan 40 jaar geleden. De rijkste 1% verdient meer dan de gehele onderste helft van de bevolking in de VS. In deze tijd is het niet eenvoudig om op te klimmen, zeker niet in de VS, dat is in landen als Denemarken en Duitsland eenvoudiger. Sandel zegt dat de meritocratie een erfelijke aristocratie is. Geen wonder dat de voorstellen in de boeken van Sander Schimmelpenninck en Paul Schenderling interessant klinken, ook in Nederland. Een probleem van de meritocratie is het gevoel dat het oproept bij winnaars én verliezers. Winnaars denken dat ze het zelf hebben gedaan (hoogmoed), verliezers hebben een gevoel van vernedering en ressentiment. Winnaars kijken neer op de verliezers, maar verliezers kijken ook neer op zichzelf. In 1958 voorspelde Young dit al in zijn boek over de meritocratie. 2 ‘Groot want goed': een korte geschiedenis van ‘eigen verdienste' Een meritocratische samenleving is inspirerend, het vrijheidsidee, dat je wordt beloont naar de geleverde prestatie. Een interessant hoofdstuk over wat het geloof door de tijd heeft gezegd over verdienen, consumptie en vrijheid, en ook de verschillen tussen de geloven. “De gelukkige is slechts zelden tevreden met het feit dat het lot hem gunstig gezind is geweest.” Weber Interessant is ook onderdeel over hoe het geloof vandaag nog steeds een rol speelt in de VS, zoals bijvoorbeeld pastors die praten over een goddelijke vergelding bij grote rampen. Alsof mensen die rampspoed over zichzelf hebben afgeroepen. Door te geloven word je beloont met rijkdom en gezondheid. MEt als gevolg dat wanneer je ziek of arm bent, dan geloof je dus niet genoeg. Zestig procent van de Amerikanen gelooft dat God wil dat mensen welvarend zijn. Dit geloof in de eigen verantwoordelijkheid zie je ook terugkomen in discussies rondom zorgverzekeringen. Het idee dat je mensen die ziek zijn hogere kosten in rekening brengt. Hogere premies voor de zieken, verlagen de kosten voor de 'goed' levende mensen. De gedachten is dat zij hebben gedaan wat ze moesten doen om hun lichaam gezond te houden. Zoals de argumenten van John Mackey (Whole Foods) tegen Obamacare, we zijn allemaal verantwoordelijk voor ons eigen leven en onze eigen ge...

Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel fears that we've turned from a market economy into a market society, where just about everything is for sale. His book, What Money Can't Buy, was a big success 10 years ago. He joins Astra Taylor and Michael Ignatieff to discuss why his book is even more relevant today.

He is the world's most popular contemporary philosopher. Michael Sandel, Professor at Harvard University and 2018 Princess of Asturias Award for Social Sciences, aims to put civic education on the table and connect philosophy with our daily lives. This professor of Political Philosophy seeks to revive the Socratic spirit and stops to talk to people to inquire what justice is or what the “common good” means. He does this inside and, more importantly, outside the classroom. In the BBC series ‘The Global Philosopher', he leads video discussions with participants from over thirty countries on the ethical aspects of issues such as immigration or climate change. His writings on justice, ethics, democracy and markets have been translated into more than 25 languages, including the book ‘What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets'. The philosopher also teaches "Justice", the first Harvard course available for free online and on television.

Saya membahas buku What Money Can't Buy karya Michael J. Sandel. Buku ini membahas hal apa yang seharusnya tidak boleh dibeli dengan uang. Di era sekarang, ibaratnya kita bisa membeli apapun. Apakah kamu tahu, kalau kamu bisa membayar kamar penjara yang lebih nyaman, hanya dengan 1.2 juta rupiah per malam? Di California dan berbagai kota lainnya di Amerika Serikat, narapidana dengan kasus non kekerasan bisa menikmati fasilitas tersebut apabila mereka sanggup membayarnya. Ini adalah contoh yang menarik. Pertanyaanya sekarang seperti ini, apakah semua hal boleh dibeli dengan uang? Penulis berusaha memberikan pandangan dari sudut pandang moral, kalau ketika semua hal bisa dibeli dengan uang, maka hal ini bisa berbahaya. Bukan hanya dari sudut pandang etika, tapi hal ini akan memperlebar kesenjangan sosial dan ibaratnya dunia hanya milik yang punya uang saja.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Book review: Very Important People, published by Richard Ngo on April 2, 2022 on LessWrong. New York's nightclubs are the particle accelerators of sociology: reliably creating the precise conditions under which exotic extremes of status-seeking behaviour can be observed. Ashley Mears documents it all in her excellent book Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit. A model turned sociology professor, while researching the book she spent hundreds of nights in New York's most exclusive nightclubs, as well as similar parties across the world. The book abounds with fascinating details; in this post I summarise it and highlight a few aspects which I found most interesting. Here's the core dynamic. There are some activities which are often fun: dancing, drinking, socialising. But they become much more fun when they're associated with feelings of high status. So wealthy men want to use their money to buy the feeling of having high-status fun, by doing those activities while associated with (and ideally while popular amongst) other high-status people, particularly beautiful women. Unfortunately, explicit transactions between different forms of cultural capital are low-status - it demonstrates that you can't get the other forms directly. So the wealthy men can't just pay the beautiful women to come party with them. Instead an ecosystem develops which sells sufficient strategic ambiguity to allow (self- and other-) deception about the transaction which is taking place, via incorporating a series of middlemen. Specifically, wealthy men pay thousands at these nightclubs for table charges and “bottle service” - already-expensive alcohol marked up by 5x or much more. The nightclubs pay “promoters” to scout out and bring along dozens of beautiful women each night. Those women get access to an exclusive venue with many wealthy men - but by itself that's not enough to motivate regular attendance, at least not from the prettiest. And most are careful not to ruin their reputations by actually accepting payments from the promoters. Instead, in order to bring enough girls, promoters each need to do a bunch of emotional labour, flirting, relationship-building, and many non-cash payments (food, transport, even accommodation). I'm strongly reminded of Michael Sandel's book What Money Can't Buy - the intuitions about the corrosive effects of money are the same, they're just applied to a much less high-minded setting. Some interesting features of this system: At a top club, a promoter might get paid $1000 a night to bring out a dozen models or women who look like models. Notably, model-like beauty is much more highly-prized than conventional beauty - e.g. the clubs don't allow access to women who aren't unusually tall. Everyone selects for models even when they don't personally find the model look as attractive, because the fashion industry has established this as the Schelling look for high-status women. (For more on how this happens, see Mears' other book, Pricing Beauty; and the responses to my tweet about it). The markup on increasingly large champagne bottles is determined less by the amount of champagne, and more by how ostentatious the purchase is. The biggest purchases, costing over 100k per bottle, therefore come with incredibly elaborate fanfare: all music stops, spotlights shine on the buyer, a whole train of staff bring out the drinks, etc. The nightclub profits by creating an atmosphere of “suspended reality” where a large group of people who all individually believe that buying status in this way is tacky can still convince themselves that all the other people don't think it's tacky. Most of the profits don't actually come from the biggest spenders, but rather the next tier down, who are inspired by the atmosphere, and anchored by stories of the biggest...

Instead, in order to bring enough girls, promoters each need to do a bunch of emotional labour, flirting, relationship-building, and many non-cash payments (food, transport, even accommodation). I'm strongly reminded of Michael Sandel's book What Money Can't Buy - the intuitions about the corrosive effects of money are the same, they're just applied to a much less high-minded setting. Some interesting features of this system: At a top club, a promoter might get paid $1000 a night to bring out a dozen models or women who look like models. Notably, model-like beauty is much more highly-prized than conventional beauty - e.g. the clubs don't allow access to women who aren't unusually tall. Everyone selects for models even when they don't personally find the model look as attractive, because the fashion industry has established this as the Schelling look for high-status women. (For more on how this happens, see Mears' other book, Pricing Beauty; and the responses to my tweet about it). The markup on increasingly large champagne bottles is determined less by the amount of champagne, and more by how ostentatious the purchase is. The biggest purchases, costing over 100k per bottle, therefore come with incredibly elaborate fanfare: all music stops, spotlights shine on the buyer, a whole train of staff bring out the drinks, etc. The nightclub profits by creating an atmosphere of “suspended reality” where a large group of people who all individually believe that buying status in this way is tacky can still convince themselves that all the other people don't think it's tacky. Most of the profits don't actually come from the biggest spenders, but rather the next tier down, who are inspired by the atmosphere, and anchored by stories of the biggest...

Welcome to The Philosophy of Sex, long-play, I'm your host Caroline Moreau-Hammond. You might remember the name Jeanne Proust from our third episode of season 1 ‘Why is sex still taboo?'. Professor and Philosopher, Jeanne Proust (no relation to Marcel Proust) is a post-doctoral teaching fellow at Fordham University and an adjunct professor at New York University and Pace University in the United States. She has studied Philosophy and Visual Arts in Bordeaux, Berlin, and Paris and her PhD dissertation at the Panthéon-Sorbonne focused on the pathologies of willpower, both in philosophical and psychological perspectives, but her interests are wide including, Ethics, Philosophy of Technologies, Bioethics, Feminist theory, and Aesthetics. Jeanne is an advocate for a widening of philosophical education beyond academic frontiers; she regularly gives public talks in philosophy and produces her own podcast, "Can You Phil It?” which aims to make philosophical texts and ideas accessible to a wider audience.In this episode, Jeanne and I examine taboo, the important role transgression plays in desire, the trivialisation of sexuality and the need for more nuanced conversations about taboo and sexuality. Because we weren't able to include everything in Episode 1 of The Philosophy of Sex, please enjoy our full interview. Resources:Can You Phil It podcast: Apple & Spotify  Recommended reading by Jeanne: Virginie Despentes, King Kong Theory, 2006.Michael Sandel, What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets, 2012. Andrea Dworkin, Pornography: Men Possessing Women, 1981. Catherine Millet, The Sexual Life of Catherine M., 2001Ann Cahill, Overcoming objectification, A Carnal Ethics, 2011. Connect with us:@becuming.meBecuming takes the frustration out of finding the perfect sex toy by sending you personalised recommendations.

This episode is an interview of Ngina Chiteji, an associate professor of economics at NYU. She does research on wealth and savings, crime, and inequality. She is on the editorial board of the Review of Black Political Economy, and co-editor of a volume on wealth accumulation in communities of color. In it we discuss criminal justice reform and mass incarceration, with special attention to the “invisible punishments” that accompany an encounter with the justice system, including fines, debt, reductions of civil rights, and long-term labor market penalties. Chiteji is particularly interested in the way we think about justice and morality, and so she also gives us a tour of different ways we can think about what justice should look like, to help us do a better job shaping public policy.

As a nation, the Brits have been through quite a bit over the last year. A sort of late midlife health and emotional crisis. The twin demons of pandemic and Brexit have scarred and divided us. But what is the collective mindset that led to the Brexit vote? And how have our values determined how we have coped with the pandemic: the wishes and needs of the individual do not always coincide with those of the group, our nation. Face masks don’t just protect us they are intended to safeguard others. How has pandemic changed our values and priorities - both on a personal and public level? Or will it be back to business as usual once we are all vaccinated?In the latest in its series of podcasts supported by the investment bank Stifel and its European President Eithne O’Leary, Jericho Chambers Partner, Matthew Gwyther speaks to Eithne plus three book authors and a young, American colleague of Eithne’s who has only recently joined the bank after completing a Masters at LSE in London.The author, academic and critic Stephen Bayley’s new book is called Value: Thirty Conversations on What Money Can’t buy.”It is more ludic a work than Sanghera’s but none the less important for it. Where Satham deals with the big, national and political Bayley looks at the personal, the intimate and how our values have been appraised by the pandemic or The Great Isolation, as he calls it. His work is “an elegiac account of what has been recently lost in the digital apocalypse. But also as steadfastly enthusiastic and optimistic look at what we can regain in a post-viral more analogue and more thoughtful world.” “Since the industrial revolution,” he writes. “When everything ran by clockwork, people have understood how important it is to live in the moment. But over time our world has grown increasingly busy and we’ve lost the ability to truly savour each unique experience and the simple pleasures the world has to offer.” And on Big Tech which has become even bigger in the last 12 months, he pulls no punches. “Apple? A huge and cynically manipulative organisation. Far worse than General Motors ever was.”Stephen Bayley’s final paragraph in his book contains a lot of good sense: “you need to keep asking questions. Cultivate the senses. And enjoy the mysterious glory of the everyday. Because that is all we’ve got. And there is huge value to be had in realising and enjoying that.”This podcast is part of The Double-Wicked Challenge; COVID and Brexit conversation series, curated by Jericho on behalf of Stifel Europe.For further information or to get involved, please contact Jericho Founder, Robert Phillips or Programme Director, Becky Holloway.

  Natalie Salmanowitz: How Virtual Reality Can Help Mitigate Implicit Bias (Ep. 146) Bio Natalie Salmanowitz (@nsalmanowitz) is a rising 3L at Harvard Law School and is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. After studying neuroscience at Dartmouth College, she went to Duke University for a master’s degree in Bioethics and Science Policy before spending a year at Stanford Law School as a fellow in the Neuroscience and Society Program. Resources The Impact of Virtual Reality on Implicit Racial Bias and Mock Legal Decisions by Natalie Salmanowitz (Journal of Law and the Biosciences, 2018) What Money Can’t Buy by Michael J. Sandel News Roundup FBI indicted 12 Russians in connection with 2016 DNC Hack Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced a DC Grand Jury indictment of 12 Russians charged with hacking the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 2016. They’re all GRU members, which is Russia’s intelligence agency. And one of the defendants is accused of hacking into state election systems themselves. Intelligence officials say Russia intended for the hacks to help Donald Trump. But during a presser following his closed-door meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday, the President sided with Russia. This was met with strong rebukes from U.S. intelligence officials and Republicans. Meanwhile, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coates warns of an imminent “crippling cyber attack on our critical infrastructure”. He names Russia as “the most aggressive foreign actor, no question.” And CNN reports that a Kremlin-linked internet company, Mail.Ru, had access to a Facebook app that collected user data without their consent. FCC changes consumer complaint rules The Republican-led Federal Communications Commission passed a new rule last week that will require consumers to pay a $225 fee to file formal complaints with the agency. Democrats were livid, with Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel calling the rule change “bonkers”, and FCC Chairman Pai passed the rules over the objections of Democratic representatives Frank Pallone and Mike Doyle. They’re concerned the rule change will dilute the impact of informal complaints. Purdue study: Airbnb benefits local economies in white neighborhoods. Black and Latino neighborhoods? Not so much. A new study of Purdue University, that looks at Bureau of Labor Statistics and Yelp data, has found that Airbnb’s economic benefits local economies—with one wrinkle: it’s mainly neighborhoods that are predominantly white. The study specifically looked at the spillover effect to local economies when Airbnb guests stay there by evaluating how many new jobs were created in area restaurants. Apparently, Airbnb guests are less likely to eat at restaurants surrounding Airbnbs in neighborhoods where the black or Latino population exceeds 50%, than they are in predominantly white neighborhoods. U.S. Lifts Ban on ZTE The Trump administration lifted its ban against ZTE on Friday. The ban required U.S. companies to refrain from contracting with Chinese telecom manufacturer ZTE because U.S. intelligence officials accused ZTE of lying about how it was handling sanctions against Iran and North Korea. Justice Department to appeal AT&T/Time Warner Finally, The Justice Department announced that it would be appealing the DC Court of Appeals decision approving AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner. This re-opens litigation that could have major implications for how courts and the federal government will consider vertical mergers.

On this episode, Jesse & Matt discuss the third most important element of The Golden Square which is so simple and obvious, that it's remarkable this idea is even contested as a human right in the Yankee-lands of Ol' Red, White and Blue: the absolute right to healthcare for every human being on Earth. Matthew will provide a surprising prologue about what's suddenly taken place in his personal life since this episode's initial recording and open up about his mother's life-long illness; in call & response fashion, Jesse will then talk about what it was like to get healthcare in Sarah-Palin-Land as a child. The co-hosts will also explore their personal relationships to this essential cornerstone to The Golden Square, and their own anxieties about having access to healthcare as middle-aged men with pre-existing conditions. And lastly, Matt & Jesse will look at healthcare systems around the world, and offer up a poignant portrait of the very near and immediate struggles facing activists as they fight for a momentous Single Payer bill in California (SB-562).

Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski think that anything you’re allowed to do for free, you should be able to do for money. That means things like buying and selling kidneys, children, sex, grades; even waiting in line. Are they right?What should you be able to buy and sell? What does it mean to pay someone for something?Show Notes and Further ReadingBrennan and Jaworski’s book is Markets without Limits: Moral Virtues and Commercial Interests (2015).Markets without Limits is partially a response to this book, What Money Can’t Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets (2013) by Michael J. Sandel.One of our very first Free Thoughts podcast episodes was with James Stacey Taylor on this very same topic. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Michael Sandel teaches one of the most attended courses in Harvard history, He’s the author of books like 'Justice: What is the right thing to do' and ‘What Money Can’t Buy’. Sandel outlines the unlikely consequences of the marketization of civic spaces. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Imagine if- as the first mass multi-cultural democratic republic the world has ever seen- we, in the most privileged nation the world- could support our public spaces.

Should we pay children to read books or get good grades? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars, paying people to sell their organs, or auctioning admission to elite universities? Drawing on themes from his new book, What Money Can’t Buy, Michael Sandel leads a lively discussion of one of the biggest ethical issues of our time: What should be the role of money and markets in our society? Speakers: Michael J. Sandel

On Start the Week Andrew Marr discusses the relationship between markets and morals with the political philosopher Michael Sandel. In his latest book, What Money Can't Buy, Sandel questions the dominance of the financial markets in our daily lives, in which everything has a price. But the economist Diane Coyle stands up for her much maligned profession, and points to the many benefits of a market economy. The Russian economist Grigory Yavlinksy argues against viewing the world of money as separate from culture and society: he believes the financial crisis was merely a symptom of a wider moral collapse, and that it is time to examine the way we live.Producer: Katy Hickman.
