Laws five and six are supposedly about gift. But all he's saying is that he doesn't like giving money, and that when he does, it's surrounded by a lot of expectation. This is not a gift. A gift is free of expectation. This has more to do with his internal state than it does with money.
I've found that a lot of the writings on money and gift from the past century [like the work of Marcel Mauss] make the mistake of equating gift with exchange. An exchange has nothing to do with gifts [although I don't think you could call them opposites because they don't have a relationship].
I do think he's right that if you're a person of privilege, you should do what you want and the means will present themselves. But it isn't this way for most Americans.
I think it's also illustrative that almost everything he has to say about his friends whom he gives as examples in the book are negative. It seems as though he has a pretty pessimistic outlook on the world.
The Seven Laws of Money could be a useful book for someone trying to make it as a banker, or in some other upper-class pursuit. It presents "business as usual."
I think that this is enough analysis for now. I don't think it's a bad book; I just think it doesn't have anything to do with the kind of money I'm interested in.
If you are interested in learning more about the big picture surrounding money, I highly recommend David Gaeber's book "Debt: The First 5,000 Years."… (más)
