In resistance to the prevailing "seductive" market, and as part
of the process of creating, organizing and stimulating an
alternative to it, this volume of essays challenges the idea that
money is primarily a "medium of exchange" that developed as a
response to the inconvenience of barter. They argue that
historically money predates (market) exchange and should be seen
fundamentally as a means of payment in discharge of a social
obligation.
