The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness by Morgan Housel

4.0

This book was really good until I got to the end with the optional part about how we got to this point with consumerism and how the US created a consumer. I think it's important to recognize that certain groups of people were left out of the incredible opportunities that were provided to the stereotypical white family and not to anyone else. I also think it would be interesting to understand how different racial groups think about money. Are there different psychological factors that come into play with the immigrant experience? How does that affect their/our relationship with money? How do marginalized communities think about and interact with their money? Perhaps another book can help answer those questions for me.
