Description
The good life is a question that has puzzled many for centuries. In "How Much Is Enough? Money and the Good Life", Robert Skidelsky and Edward Skidelsky explore this concept through the lens of economics, philosophy, and politics. The authors examine the work of influential thinkers such as Aristotle and John Maynard Keynes, tracing the evolution of our understanding of what constitutes a fulfilling life. They argue that traditional economic theories have led us astray, prioritizing growth over happiness and well-being. The Skidelskys propose a new approach, one that seeks to redefine the value of money and the purpose of work. This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on our relationship with economics and the good life. With its accessible language and deep intellectual commitment, it is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to rethink their values and priorities.
