Mensen gebruiken wereldwijd meer dan 160 verschillende munteenheden, elk met hun eigen monopolie binnen de landsgrenzen. De meeste verliezen echter snel aan waarde en zijn buiten hun eigen gebied nauwelijks bruikbaar. Geboren worden in het 'verkeerde' land kan sparen daardoor onnodig moeilijk maken. In Geldnood kijken we naar de geschiedenis van geld door de bris van technologische vooruitgang. Politiek speelt lokaal en tijdelijk een rol, maar uiteindelijk is het technologie die structurele, wereldwijde veranderingen aanjaagt.

In this important work, Georges Bataille uses his novel economic theory as the basis for an incisive inquiry into the very nature of civilization. He introduces here his concept of the accursed share, the surplus energy that any system, natural or cultural, must expend; it is this expenditure, according to Bataille, that most clearly defines a society. His examples include sacrifice among the Aztecs, potlatch among the Northwest Coast Indians, military conquest in Islam, and Buddhist monasticism in Tibet.

Carrying the weight of that early trauma, Lester turned to gangs, became a juvenile delinquent, experienced homelessness, and at one point lived out of his car. He dropped out of high school. But Lester's story doesn't end there. He eventually returned to school, graduated as a fifth-year senior, and defied the odds by earning five degrees, including a PhD in public policy.
