When we spend money, what is it that we're buying? Most of the time we're not buying more money. Instead we're buying the necessary items for health, leisure, or security. We trade in talents, labor, or relationships. Where many of us struggle to make enough money, we still manage to obtain the things we need through our relationships with others, the use of our skills for their benefit, or the attitudes we adopt for needing to buy whatever it is in the first place. This book takes our old notions of money and tacks on three other kinds of capital--social, psychological, and emotional--and explains why, despite what we've been taught, these are not interchangeable with money. The difference is in how abstract the things we're measuring might be, and whether we can agree on the worth of those things. When you can't easily agree on a thing's worth or abstractness, you can't easily use money.
