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 Romance of a Busy Broker by O. Henry
- Sleepy by Anton Chekhov
- Neighbour Rosicky by Willa Cather
