    About “Geld”

    A collection of stories, verse and satirical pieces turns to a subject that concerns everyone. By turns mocking and thoughtful, it shows how deeply scarcity and wealth can shape a life.

    Specialist contributions from economics and social research ask how much influence capital holds, and how money appears in the form of banknotes or numbers in accounts. Pictures and paintings complement these perspectives.

    The volume asks about the trust people place in money and about the consequences that follow from it. It offers no simple answer, but leaves room for one's own thoughts.

    Who is “Geld” for?

    For readers who value anthologies in which stories, poems and essays stand side by side, this book offers a varied mix. It speaks to readers who want to approach social questions through literature, and to anyone who wants to get to know the subject of money beyond the business news.

    When is “Geld” the best read?

    The volume suits reading breaks between individual texts, since the contributions are short and can be read one at a time. If you want to spend an evening with many different voices, pick out a few chapters and save the rest for another occasion.
