The Philosophy of Money

Over the last decade, Georg Simmel's reputation in the English-speaking world has grown enormously. The Philosophy of Money is recognized as a major impetus to the ideas surrounding the debate on modernity and postmodernity. In this magisterial work, Simmel provides a remarkably wide-ranging discussion of the social, psychological, and philosophical aspects of the money economy. He analyzes money's relationships to exchange, the human personality, the position of women, individual freedom, and many other areas of human existence. Perhaps more than any of his sociological works, The Philosophy of Money provides an example of his brilliant insight into the interrelationships between the most diverse and seemingly unconnected social phenomena.
