They have painted it and sung songs about it, organized political parties around it, and imprinted it with the name of God & mdash;all the while wondering: is money a symbol of the value of human work and creativity, or a symbol of some natural, intrinsic value?In Face Value, Michael O & rsquo;Malley provides a deep history and a penetrating analysis of American thinking about money and the ways that this ambivalence unexpectedly intertwines with race.
