Money On My Mind

Money weighs on the minds of almost everyone from time to time, but the way a rich person tracks his stock gains and the poor man tallies his pennies is different in degree and kind. In this episode of the In-House Ethicist, John Paul Rollert takes up the different ways in which money can preoccupy us, drawing on insights of writers like John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, and William Shakespeare as well as his own experience cleaning dorm rooms in college.
