The Psychology of Money

Summary: European psychologists examine money and the mind
Review: As a researcher in the field of economic psychology, I am impressed by Furnham and Argyle's depth of knowledge in this area. Most of the research reported in this book is European in perspective, but the European's have always outpaced American economists and psychologists in this field. I am especially pleased to report that the authors have become aware that we poor American scholoars do exist and personally, I am estatic that they cite several of the research articles that I have written in the last five years. Those interested in the cross cultural study of money in this age of a global economy should read this book very closely to discover the differences and similarities in the human mind when it comes to thoughts about money. It is my hope that this book has many readers and that it creates more practical and academic perspsectives on the study of the mind and money around the world.
