Peut-on tout acheter ? Une société de l’échange-roi va implicitement, dans la vie la plus quotidienne, en ce sens. Mais quel sens, pour la vie de l’homme, dans cette omniprésence de l’argent ?Pour aborder une question si grave et si banale – l’homme et l’argent –, l’auteur, psychanalyste, n’a pas craint de prendre des risques, celui de parler du « salut » d’une famille en grande difficulté et celui de la « guérison » d’une petite fille. Avoir et mettre en œuvre tous les moyens de « sauver » et de « guérir » : c’est cela que l’homme demande à l’argent qu’il possède et au système de valeurs qu’il acquiert ou qu’il achète. L’argent qui peut tout acquérir…, voilà qui lui confère un « caractère sacré » et fait de lui une idole pour obtenir ce don de Dieu qu’est la vie dans le vivant. Comme si l’homme pouvait se donner à lui-même les moyens de se faire vivre ou de mériter la vie. Et cela, en dotant son image d’une plus-value imaginaire, idéalement calculée pour se substituer au manque à être, à cette pauvreté essentielle qui suscite et accueille le désir de l’Autre : le présent d’une présence qui se manifeste gratuitement en lui comme en tous, maintenant et de générations en générations. L’énigme de l’homme est que la vie qui est sienne lui est donnée dans et par l’Autre du désir et se donne en lui aux autres. Et ce don de la vie se révèle en lui quand il répond en son nom de ce qu’il est, non de ce qu’il vaut.L’auteur pose la question décisive : « Qu’est-ce qu’un homme ? » Un « vivant de désir » – mais d’un désir qui ne saurait jamais être satisfait.

Looking beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary social interactions, The Moral Power of Money investigates the forces of power and morality at play, particularly among the poor. Drawing on fieldwork in a slum of Buenos Aires, Ariel Wilkis argues that money is a critical symbol used to negotiate not only material possessions, but also the political, economic, class, gender, and generational bonds between people. Through vivid accounts of the stark realities of life in Villa Olimpia, Wilkis highlights the interplay of money, morality, and power. Drawing out the theoretical implications of these stories, he proposes a new concept of moral capital based on different kinds, or "pieces," of money. Each chapter covers a different "piece"—money earned from the informal and illegal economies, money lent through family and market relations, money donated with conditional cash transfers, political money that binds politicians and their supporters, sacrificed money offered to the church, and safeguarded money used to support people facing hardships. This book builds an original theory of the moral sociology of money, providing the tools for understanding the role money plays in social life today.
