""The Use and Abuse of Money"" by William Cunningham is a thought-provoking book that explores the role of money in our lives. The author argues that money is a powerful tool that can be used for good or evil, depending on how it is managed. Through a series of case studies and real-life examples, Cunningham examines the various ways in which people use and abuse money, from the wealthy elite who hoard their wealth to the poor who struggle to make ends meet. He also delves into the psychological and emotional aspects of money, exploring how our attitudes towards money can shape our lives and relationships. Ultimately, Cunningham offers practical advice on how to use money wisely and responsibly, and how to avoid the pitfalls of greed and materialism. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of the role of money in our lives and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Renowned economic historian and clergyman William Cunningham (1849-1919) published this work in 1896, which is considered a companion volume to his seminal Essay on Western Civilisation. Educated at Edinburgh, Cambridge and Tubingen, Cunningham wrote widely on theology and economics. He was a Cambridge lecturer and fellow at Trinity, Professor of Economics at King's College London, a teacher at Harvard, a founding fellow of the British Academy, and President of the Royal Historical Society. Favouring historical empiricism over deductive theory, his work, labelled neo-mercantilist, was against laissez-faire and favoured economic regulation, social religion, and conservative incremental change. This book outlines these views as part of an analysis of the basic units of economic life - exchange, possessions, money, credit, selling, price, labour, trade, profit, interest, rent, wages - and how these interact within capitalism. The work strongly influenced contemporary thought and remains relevant in the historiography of economics.

William Cunningham (1849-1919) was one of the most eminent economic historians of his generation. The author of The Growth of English Industry and Commerce (1882) is seen in a different role in this very approachable and informative set of talks. Early in his career, Cunningham worked as an extension lecturer, and in these six lectures given to teachers on aspects of local history he displays great flair in communicating how history can be brought to life in the classroom. From the creation of the fen landscape in prehistoric times to the historic buildings of its towns, Cunningham explains the unique position and history of Cambridgeshire as a county distinct from its neighbours. He shows teachers how to inspire an interest in history in their pupils by engaging with the parts they can recognise: the surviving buildings, landscapes and traditions of their county, an approach still successful in schools today.
