Description
The concept of money has long been debated by economists and theologians alike. Philip Goodchild offers a unique perspective on this topic, examining the theory of money in relation to Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Georg Simmel. Goodchild's argument is that money is not just a medium of exchange, but also a debt that must be repaid with interest. This creates a vicious circle where the creation of money drives an increase in profit and the need for more money to repay debts. As a result, money has become a dominant force in modern society, taking on characteristics of a religion. In this book, Goodchild explores the idea that money has replaced traditional values and institutions, becoming a supreme value that governs our lives. He argues that understanding the true nature of money is essential for navigating the complexities of the global economy.
