Download or read book African Friends and Money Matters written by David E. Maranz and published by Sil International, Global Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Friends and Money Matters grew out of frustrations that Westerners experience when they travel and work in Africa. Africans have just as many frustrations relating to Westerners in their midst. Each manages money, time, and relationships in very different ways, often creating friction and misunderstanding. This book deals with everyday life in Africa, showing the underlying logic of African economic systems and behavior. Two new chapters in this second edition emphasize personal relationships, making the book even more relevant to the thoughtful reader. Maranz introduces these principles, as well as the very different goals of African and Western economic systems, plus ninety specific observations of money-related African behaviors. Personal anecdotes bring this book to life. The result is that the reader can make sense of customs that at first seem incomprehensible. This popular book has captured the interest of Westerners living in or visiting Sub-Saharan Africa: business, diplomatic, and NGO personnel; religious workers, journalists, and tourists. The readership includes professors and students of African Studies. African readers will also be interested for what it reveals about Western culture and ways Westerners often react to Africa. David E. Maranz (Ph.D., International Development) has worked with SIL International in several African countries since 1975 in community development, administration, and anthropology consulting. His earlier book, Peace is Everything (SIL International), examines the worldview and religious context of the Senegambia region.

The bills as they rustle against each other. Money has a feel to it; not just the special paper the U.S. Mint prints it on, or the community of people who have touched it. It feels substantial, like enterprise, and possibility. It can make or break you. So the question is-is that sound of the rustling money you hear yours, or is it your friend's? And how does your friend's money influence yours? Maybe you've never realized this possibility. For good or bad, your friends influence you. They influence where you eat, where you shop, and how often you go out. They can even influence where you live and where you go to college. All of that involves money. But it goes deeper than that. It gets at the core of you becoming Rich Friend or Broke Friend. They each have traits are traits-learned traits that can either help or hurt you. And perhaps you are teaching some financial traits to your friends. Without even realizing it.
