This is a comprehensive, critical introduction to the sociology of
money, covering many topics, from the origins of money to its
function today. Though our coins, bank notes and electronic tokens
do function as means of exchange, money is in fact a social,
intangible institution. This book shows that money does indeed rule
the world. Exploring the unlikely origins of money in early
societies and amidst the first civilizations, the book moves onto
inherent liaison with finance, including the logic of financial
markets. Turning to the contemporary politics of money, monetary
experiments and reform initiatives such as Bitcoin and positive
money, it finally reveals the essentially monetary constitution of
modern society itself. Through criticizing the simplistic exchange
paradigm of standard economics and rational choice theory, it
demonstrates instead that money matters because it embodies social
relations.
