Money - and the social effects of having it or not - is too big a theme in people's daily lives to be ignored by literature. The writers gave the most varied interpretations and looked from the most different angles to the human relationship with money - but the final thought is always up to the reader.

The critic August Nemo selected seven classic short stories on this subject:

- The Money Box by W.W. Jacobs

- Mammon and the Archer by O. Henry

- After the Race by James Joyce

- The Rocking-Horse Winner by D. H. Lawrence

- Filboid Studge by Saki

- Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald

- The Crocodile by Fyodor Dostoevsky
