DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Analysis of the Functions of Money Money is a fundamental condition of the existence of society. Men must live in society or perish. No human being was ever able to prolong his existence for any considerable time without the use of what others produce. All the authors on political economy agree that mere barter without money involves isolation and extermination, which the most primitive savages avert by the invention of some kind of money. If ever a tribe of savages existed without using sticks, shells or some kind of tokens as money, the fact has not been recorded and the possibility of such existence is denied. As life is the potential principle or force by which the organs of animals and plants are started and continued in the performance of their several and co-operative functions, so money is the potential principle or force through the workings of which men associate their efforts and produce industrial society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe central thesis of the book is that in order to evaluate monetary policy, one should have a clear idea about the characteristics and functions of money as it evolved and in its current form. That is to say that without an understanding about how money evolved as a social institution, what it is today, and what is possible to know about monetary phenomena, it is not possible to develop a meaningful ethics for money; or, to put it differently, to find what kind of institutional arrangements may be deemed good money for the kind of society we are in. And without that, one faces severe limitations in offering a normative position about monetary policy. The project is, consequently, an interdisciplinary one. Its main thread is an inquiry of moral philosophy and its foundations, as applied to money, in order to create tools to evaluate public policy in regard to money, banking, and public finance; and the views of different schools on those topics are discussed. The book is organized in parts on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and politics of money to facilitate the presentation of all the subjects discussed to an educated readership (and not necessarily just one with a background in economics).
