Money is a fact of everyday life. We earn it, spend it and save it. We’re tempted to worship it and to trust it to provide for our needs. While much has been written about the power, danger, and stewardship of money, little has been written about what money actually is and whether or not money itself is moral. That information gap has been exploited to enrich a privileged few, enslave millions, and reap confusion and division throughout the world. How did this happen and what can we do about it?

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce.

We began with a question: “Do you listen to respond, or listen to understand?” While many books are written about how to get your point across, effective communication is about transmitting and receiving messages as close to the intended meaning as possible. One central issue contributes more than others to the deterioration of a message’s intended meaning.

Imagine that you are on one side of that street, but the person trying to speak with you is on the other side.
