Financial advisors, poker players, hedge fund traders, fundraisers, sports agents, credit counselors and commissioned salespeople all deal with one central concern in their jobs: money. In Money at Work, Kevin Delaney explores how we think about moneyand, particularly, how our jobs influence that thinking. By spotlighting people for whom money is the focus of their work, Delaney illuminates how the daily practices experienced in different jobs create distinct ways of thinking and talking about money and how occupations and their work cultures carry important symbolic, material, and practical messages about money.Delaney takes us deep inside the cultures of these moneyed workers, using both interviews and firsthand observations of many of these occupations. From hedge fund trading rooms in New York, to poker players at work in Las Vegas casinos, to a Christian money retreat in a monastery in rural Pennsylvania, Delaney illustrates how the underlying economic conditions of various occupations and careersproduce what he calls money cultures, or ways of understanding the meaning of money, which in turn shape ones economic outlook. Key to this is how some professionals, such as debt counselors, think very differently than say poker players in their regard to moneyDelaney argues that it is the structure of these professions themselves that in turn influences monetary attitudes. Fundamentally, Moneyat Work shows that what people do for a living has a profound effect on how people conceive of money both at work and in their home lives, making clear the connections between the economic and the social, shedding light on some of our most basic values. At a time when conversations about money are increasingly important, Delaney shows that we do not merely learn our attitudes toward money in childhood, but we also learn important money lessons from the work that we do.
