If you are the least bit inquisitive in how money and materialism relate to politics, economics, technology, military matters, business, sociology, spirituality, and nature, Meditations on Money: Balancing Life and the Global Economy has woven together all of these disparate subjects into ten cohesively structured and themed "meditations" that take you on an enlightened journey of humanity's past 100 years and point to what's on the horizon in the twenty-first century. For readers who seek a deep spiritual journey, this book may meet this need, but it should provide you with the contemplative and acute insights about the qualitative and the quantitative value of life and how money and materialism have affected and can affect your life, society, and the world you live in—for better or for worse. For people adhering to pre-established intellectual ideologies—social, political, cultural, ecological, economic and religious—this book can stimulate your mind, let you pause for deeper thought and reflection, and possibly challenge and change your beliefs, values, and ethics, because it provides a unique world view that is relevant at this point in human history.
