Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

'I have lost interest ... in all that I have written prior to The
Philosophy of Money. This one is really my book, the others appear
to me colourless and seem as if they could have been written by
anyone else.' - Georg Simmel to Heinrich Rickert (1904)
We should all be grateful for this translation. It must have been
extremely hard work, but it shows no trace of it. Indeed, it
positively sparkles.' - Alan Ryan, The Guardian
In The Philosophy of Money, Simmel provides us with a remarkably
wide-ranging discussion of the social, psychological and
philosophical aspects of the money economy, full of brilliant
insights into the forms that social relationships take. He analyzes
the relationships of money to exchange, the human personality, the
position of women, individual freedom and many other areas of human
existence. Later he provides us with an account of the consequences
of the modern money economy and the division of labor, which
examines the processes of alienation and reification in work, urban
life and elsewhere. Perhaps, more than any of his other
sociological works, The Philosophy of Money gives us an example of
his comprehensive analysis of the interrelationships between the
most diverse and seemingly connected social phenomena.
This revised edition of the translation by Tom Bottomore and David
Frisby, includes a new Preface by David Frisby.
