“Book Descriptions: Journalist Rick Morton knows all about the power of money to shape your world.
Growing up in rural Queensland, he has known poverty from the inside. He has seen the bone-weary effort his single mum mustered to raise three kids and pay the bills. A poor boy who grew into a middle class man, his spending habits and attitude to money are still informed by growing up without it.
Money is one of the most fraught subjects; it raises powerful emotions in all of us. Too much money often corrupts people - too little can make people feel desperate.
In On Money, Morton examines the meaning of money and exposes the lie behind the government's mantra: have a go, get a go.” DRIVE
