The psychology of money
Describes the author's observations during a visit to Las Vegas, Nevada, in which he analyzes the psychology of gambling. How Las Vegas reveals how Americans view money; How our puritanical impulses collide with our conquistador fantasies; The psychological cost we pay for the dominance of money in our society; How the American Dream has come to mean an ideal of prosperity, not of liberty; Casino culture.
