Angst und Geld

Angst und Geld focuses on individual and social fears of loss as well as financial worries. In the form of an inner monologue, Graw addresses anxieties and moods omnipresent in times of social crisis. Instead of proposing solutions, the book develops a literary and psychoanalytical perspective on those worries and fears.
