Philosophy of Money

Philosophy of Money This paper attempts to describe the philosophical view of money as a social phenomenon. The way to understand the essence of money is to analyze the meaning as exchange means and use it as an exchange means to investigate social value. In the past, many great philosophers and economists used this method, but today is not the case. Modern economics is a policy-oriented theoretical field devoted to solving practical tasks.

German sociologist Georg Simmel in the second half of the 18th century was considered one of the founder of urban sociology and wrote "money philosophy" to explain that interpersonal relationships are increasingly giving money. I will adjust. Simmel colleague Ferdinand Tönnies wrote about Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (community and society) about the loss of key relationships such as family ties, support of capitalism, goal-oriented secondary relationships in the urban environment. Tönnies' work shifted from the concept of economic alienation to social alienation. Of course, this transformation is not that simple, and research on Marx's economic alienation is essentially social. However, many Marx predecessors focused their attention on alienation social consequences and Marx emphasized alienation economic reasons. Therefore, turning the direction of social alienation does not mean interrupting thinking about alienation, it means shifting to a new direction.

Since Simmel did a classic work on monetary philosophy, sociologists rarely talked about money. However, this situation is currently changing in the field of economics and sociology, and authors like Geoffrey Ingham and Viviana Zelizer insist on receiving money seriously. Nigeldod's new book "Social life of money" provides the most fundamental reevaluation of the sociological view of money itself, and in the process it summarizes the theories of many theorists - Nietzsche, Benjamin, Bataille, Delhi. Da, Baudrillard, and Deleuze - The importance of that theory has not been known so far. The sociological challenge of ultra wealthy people is the importance of earning money in a way that requires a more thorough and clear study.

McCloskey: Well, as I am older, my life is very complicated. I am also deputy professor of classics and philosophy. Or teach the philosophy of money in the Netherlands. I do not think you can become a true economist, but this is my first training, at least in other areas I have not read a book, and because I am in the environment for human reasons, Must be included. Rubin: Yes. Ok, before I get here, I think the best way is to read your quotes. I have done this show that I never did this before this year, but I think it is very perfect, it will capture everything about you. I want to do this.
