- W1568872786 abstract "Is money ‘good’? The pursuit of personal wealth as a primary life ‘good’ lies at theheart of Australian society and culture. Yet in western culture, the traditional legaciesof money understandings endure: as a value-neutral tool of the economy, free frommoral considerations. This thesis provides a sociological analysis about how peopleare morally oriented towards money. The thesis addresses money meanings from aninterpretative framework, in the context of in-depth interviews with forty-one youngTasmanian adults about what they understand is a ‘good life’. A sociological analysisof orientations towards what is ‘good’ in life provides a framework for thinking aboutmorality along similar lines to Emile Durkheim, or later, Charles Taylor, as related tocommon, social and individual dispositions towards the ‘good’.Drawn from three different income contexts - middle-income earners, low-incomeearners and downshifters (those who have voluntary shifted to a lower-income) - thisthesis explores contrasting money narratives that highlight alternative moneymeanings amongst participants. In particular, the dominant money narrative points toa shared and culturally preferred way of understanding money: as good andworthwhile pursuing for a ‘good life’. Meanings that underlie this narrative areshown to have consequences for the motivations, identities, actions and futuredirections of all participants in the study. These narratives are analysed drawing on anumber of theoretical discussions both within the sociology of money and sociologyof morality, including whether moral orientations towards money found in this cultureare in fact ‘good’. For example, can such forms of social morality be ‘moralitysilencing’(Bauman 1989: 174) rather than something that generates individual moralresponsibility?" @default.
