Abstract

Georg Simmel depicts money as an evolving entity that will continue to evolve to a state of ‘perfect money’ disconnected from any external guarantor of value. This article examines some of the different approaches to substantial value underpinning money, suggesting that they represent different types of fictional underwriting. Money is then contrasted with cryptocurrency, suggesting that their respective value is not only derived from different fictions but from different standards of value as major and minor currency. This analysis suggests that far from evolving into a fully abstract and functional instrument for creating stable social relationships, the divergence in currencies and currency fictions is a force for overturning such ‘expedient’ stability.

货币不是对象：货币、加密货币、小说

Georg Simmel将货币描述为一个不断发展的实体，它将继续发展到一种与任何外部价值担保人脱节的“完美货币”状态。本文考察了一些不同的实质价值支撑资金的方法，表明它们代表了不同类型的虚构承销。然后将货币与加密货币进行对比，表明它们各自的价值不仅来源于不同的虚构，而且来源于作为主要货币和次要货币的不同价值标准。这一分析表明，货币和货币虚构的分歧非但没有演变成一种完全抽象和实用的工具来创造稳定的社会关系，反而是推翻这种“权宜之计”稳定的力量。

期刊介绍： Marketing Theory provides a fully peer reviewed specialised academic medium and main reference for the development and dissemination of alternative and critical perspectives on marketing theory. A growing number of researchers and management practitioners who believe that conventional marketing theory is often ill suited to the challenges of the modern business environment. The aim of Marketing Theory is to create a high quality, specialist outlet for management and social scientists who are committed to developing and reformulating marketing as an academic discipline by critically analysing existing theory. The journal promotes an ethos that is explicitly theory driven; international in scope and vision; open, reflexive, imaginative and critical; and interdisciplinary.
