Money holds immense power -- not just as a medium of exchange but as a cultural symbol, a psychological force, and a social construct. How do we ascribe meaning to money, and how does it shape our identities, relationships and values? What narratives and myths surround its use, accumulation and distribution? From its role in consumer culture to its depiction in literature, art and media, money permeates every aspect of human life, embodying ideals of wealth, power and morality.
This interdisciplinary conference invites scholars, researchers and practitioners to explore various meanings of money and the cultural, psychological and ethical dimensions of wealth. By examining money and markets beyond their economic function, we aim to uncover how they intersect with human experience, social structures and moral frameworks.
