Description
This reading group has been created to amplify and deep our knowledge on money and finance from a wide perspective that can embrace the complexity of money’s nature, thus, the complexity of the financial system and its dynamics. Moreover, as it was cleverly unveiled by Émile Zola in his book L’Argent, the first book discussed in this reading group, money and finance are rooted in every sphere of human beings (social, political, religious, personal, etc.), therefore, their inquiring and comprehension cannot neglect this this reality.
The reading group started with an initial selection of books proposed by Professor Jan Toporowski, however, the path we will walk together will be opened and determined by the interests and tastes of the group members.
