Money is a central institution of contemporary society. Social interaction in daily life is often mediated by money and the way in which a currency functions can influence individual behaviours and social dynamics. This book studies Sardex money, a successful money experiment, describing how Sardex was created, how it functions and the effects it has generated. Sardex money was created in Sardinia, one of the poorest European regions, in 2009, and during the Great Recession period it developed into a complex, well-organised monetary system. Sardex money functions as a complex bond, the principal components of which are currency characteristics, membership network regulations and specific social mechanisms. The interaction of these elements creates social effects which this study presents as effects on trust, cooperation and solidarity, each of which has specific generative mechanisms (selection, signalling, reciprocity, monitoring and sanctioning, opportunities, desires, beliefs, collective action). This work proposes a new typology for the social functioning of money which expands traditional economic explanations of money functioning and it compares Sardex with modern-state currencies and crypto-currencies. Money has the power to influence the relationship between individual and society: it can generate trust-based relationships, it can favour competition or cooperation and it can facilitate the emergence of collective action. Money is not only an instrument for subjective preferences – it has the power to change society. Contents Introduction A mechanism approach for money The Sardex experience Social mechanisms influenced by Sardex Conclusions Appendix: Sampling and methodologies The Author Giacomo Bazzani, Ph.D, works in the Department of Statistics, Computer Science, Applications "G.

The book explores various aspects of cognitive and motivational psychology as they impact entrepreneurial behavior. Building upon the 2009 volume, Understanding the Entrepreneurial Mind, the editors and contributors explore the cognitions, motivations, passions, intentions, perceptions, and emotions associated with entrepreneurial behaviors, in each case preserving their original chapters and enhancing them with thoughtful and targeted updates, reflecting on the most recent developments in theory and practice, telling the story of what has transpired in the last decade in the field of entrepreneurial psychology. The volume addresses such questions as: Why do some people start business and others do not? Is entrepreneurship a natural quality or can it be taught? Do entrepreneurs think differently from others? While there is a great deal of literature exploring the dynamics of new firm creation, policies to promote innovation and technology transfer, and the psychology of creativity; research on entrepreneurial mindset or cognition is relatively new, and draws largely from such related fields as organizational behavior, cognitive and social psychology, career development, and consumer research. In this book, editors Brännback and Carsrud have reassembled the contributors to Understanding the Entrepreneurial Mind to discuss new research paradigms given their vantage point years after the original volume was published. Featuring the most current literature references, Revisiting the Entrepreneurial Mind continues to challenge conventional approaches to entrepreneurship and articulate an agenda for future research.
