Abstract
Through a detailed examination of proverbs related to money, this book
offers a comprehensive critique of the prevailing everyday ideologies and
discourses on money and paves the way towards establishing a new set of
proverbs more conducive to financial equality and human well-being. The
volume explores a variety of contexts to demonstrate the different aspects
of the money system and the linguistic and social structures embedded
within them, including gambling, get rich self-help books and new forms of
currency. Unpacking this complex relationship between people, money and
language in contemporary society, this book is an ideal resource for students
and scholars in language and communication, sociolinguistics, rhetoric,
sociology and media studies.
