Indigenous, Marxist, feminist perspectives are combined in this book with the psychological, social, philosophical aspects of finance in its cultural contexts. Financial literacy education is the unifying theme. The committed educator will find many inspiring examples of ways to introduce younger students to money and finance not as instruments of individual material gain but as reflections of our core societal values with an emphasis on our ability to decide and shape those values through the priorities we attach to the money value of things."-- Brenda Spotton Visano, PhD, University Professor, School of Public Policy & Administration, York University, Toronto, Canada
