While money-related processes have recently received a lot of attention in psychology and neuroscience, this has occurred in a rather fragmented manner. Consisting of contributions by leading experts, this volume presents a scientific approach of how money affects brain, mind, and behavior. The editors aim to bring classic knowledge and recent insights together, providing a formulation of the current state of the psychological science of money"--Provided by publisher.
