America has evolved into an ownership society. Home-buying decisions, resource allocation, debt exposure, and financial planning for the future are now left to individuals, with little guidance from the companies or institutions they work for. Economics, with its insistence on quantifying ideas and putting specific quantitative values on all manner of phenomena, can help us sort through many puzzling dilemmas. Economics for Life: Real-World Financial Literacy is designed to help soon-to-be college graduates emerge into the start of their "real lives" with better comprehension of how to analyze the financial decisions that they will soon have to make. Written in an easy-to-read, conversational style, this textbook will help students learn how to make decisions on saving and investing for retirement, buying a car, buying a home, as well as how to safely navigate the use of debt and credit cards.

Früh übt sich? Geld in den Händen von Kindern – als modernes Mittel in der sich entfaltenden kapitalistischen Ökonomie und als moralisch gefährliches Objekt – war im 18. Jahrhundert Anlass für erhebliche Auseinandersetzungen in Großbritannien und dem deutschsprachigen Raum. Als Gegenstand von philanthropischen Reformideen, von popularisierenden Schriften zur Ökonomie, von Kinderbüchern und Schulreformern spielte Geld eine durchweg ambivalente Rolle – auch in Kindheitserinnerungen und Spielwaren. Das neue Verhältnis zwischen Kindheit und Geld war nicht auf die bürgerlichen Schichten begrenzt. Auch für Kinder aus Arbeiterfamilien wurden konkrete monetäre Erziehungsideale formuliert und soziale Praktiken eingeübt. Die vorliegende Studie betrachtet die Geschichte des Kapitalismus aus der Seitenkulisse. Eng verknüpft mit historischen Gefühlskulturen, mit Zukunftskonzepten und mit Kindheitsvorstellungen entsteht dadurch eine Kulturgeschichte des Ökonomischen, die die Grenzen der herkömmlichen Kultur- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte überschreitet. Nursery of Capitalism examines the relationship between children and money in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the modern era, money came to symbolize both a resource for rationalization and a morally dangerous object. The author reveals that this ambivalence surfaced particularly in educating children to become economic citizens, and thus extends the history of economic subjectivity to include the perspective of children.

This open access book seeks to foster a multidisciplinary understanding of the ties between faith, financial intermediation, and economic progress by drawing on research across economics, finance, history, philosophy, ethics, theology, public policy, law, and other disciplines. Chapters in this edited volume examine themes as consequential as economic opportunities, real world outcomes and faith; values and consumerism; faith, financial intermediation and economic development in Western and Islamic societies; and the impact of faith issues on US workers, on the workplace and religion, and on the characteristics of good wealth. Though engaging with difficult questions, this book is written in an accessible style to be enjoyed by laypeople and scholars alike.
