{"product_id":"the-philosophy-of-money","title":"The Philosophy of Money","description":"\u003cp\u003eI 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) 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 labour  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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946220253237,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415341728","price":52.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415341721.jpg?v=1769930306","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-money","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
