Reviews
Questions relating to the monetary and financial systems have begun to receive serious attention from philosophers in recent years. In this landmark collection, Joakim Sandberg and Lisa Warenski have brought together an impressive array of contributors, who together advance the state-of-the-art in philosophical debates on money and finance, encompassing issues from metaphysics and epistemology to ethics and political philosophy. The collection thereby does an impressive job of deepening philosophy's engagement with these crucially important aspects of our shared social and economic lives—ranging over issues from financial crises to green finance, and from central banking to cryptocurrency. * Martin O'Neill, Professor of Political Philosophy, University of York * Joakim Sandberg and Lisa Warenski gather a group of leading thinkers to clear up finance's complex and often puzzling nature-from fundamental metaphysical questions to pressing ethical and political issues. By making the mechanisms of our financial lives explicit, the book deeply explains how money and finance shape our individual choices and collective destinies. A significant and accessible contribution, essential for philosophers, economists, and anyone interested in critically engaging with the financial realities of our age. * Emiliano Ippoliti, Founder and Host of Phinance - The Philosophy and Finance Network and Associate Professor of Philosophy, Sapienza University of Rome * ""What is money?"" is one of the day's urgent questions; it presses on us to make sense of expansive central bank activity and of the attempts of cryptocurrencies to counterbalance. The essays in this edited volume are a first-of-their-kind endeavor for contemporary analytic philosophy to weigh in on these topics. * Graham Hubbs, Professor of Philosophy and PPE Program Director, University of Idaho * Money management and philosophical practice might seem like polar opposites on the scale from crass and vulgar to refined and abstruse, but as Sandberg and Warenski demonstrate by means of this fine volume, money and finance raise a range of issues that are at the same time philosophically interesting and practically relevant—even urgent. You will never think about money the same way after reading this book. * Erik Angner, author of How Economics Can Save the World: Simple Ideas to Solve Our Biggest Problems [2023] and Professor of Practical Philosophy, Stockholm University *
