    Fascinating short article, which reports on a new study that suggests that "simply handling money can dull physical and emotional pain." Previous studies show that social exclusion and physical pain share (and trigger) common neural reactions, and it appears "that money and physical pain are linked to one another." The new study looks at this connection "as well as the connection money has to social distress."
