Download How Much is Enough?: Money and the Good Life AudioBook Free
A provocative and well-timed require a moral method of economics, attracting on philosophers, political theorists, freelance writers, and economists from Aristotle to Marx to Keynes.What constitutes the nice life? What is the real value of money? Why do we work such long hours just to acquire greater riches? These are a few of the questions that many asked themselves when the financial system crashed in 2008. This booklet tackles such questions head-on.The writers begin with the fantastic economist John Maynard Keynes. In 1930 Keynes predicted that, within a hundred years, per capita income would progressively grow, people's basic needs would be satisfied, and no-one would need to work more than fifteen time a week. Obviously, he was incorrect: though income has increased as he envisioned, our wants have seemingly absent unsatisfied, and we continue steadily to work long hours.The Skidelskys make clear why Keynes was mistaken. Then, arguing from the idea that economics is a moral science, they trace the idea of the nice life from Aristotle for this and show how our lives over the last half century have strayed from that ideal. Finally, they issue a call to believe anew in what really matters in our lives and how to attain it.How Much WILL DO? is the fact rarity, a work of deep intelligence and moral commitment accessible to all readers. It'll be lauded, debated, cited, and criticized. You won't be ignored.
