Finance.

Money is more than numbers.

About this category

Finance isn't just math. Most decisions about money are emotional: "real estate only goes up", "gold is safe", "stocks are gambling". These are beliefs, not data.

Books in this category don't teach how to get rich quick. They teach how to see money as a tool — not religion, not demon — and make decisions based on logic instead of emotion.
