What does enough mean to you?

 

 

Book review:

How Much is Enough? Money and the Good Life

 

by Robert Skidelsky and Edward Skidelsky

New York: Other Press, LLC, 2012

243 pages

 

Perhaps a review of How Much is Enough? can best begin with a list of some of the Skidelskys’ chapter headings:

 

The Uses of Wealth

The Mirage of Happiness

Limits to Growth: Natural or Moral?

Elements of the Good Life

Exits from the Rat Race

 

Here’s the first sentence of the Introduction:

 

This book is an argument against insatiability,

against that psychological disposition that prevents us,

as individuals and as societies,

from saying “enough is enough.”

 

I think you get the picture.

Read and learn.
