摘要
塞缪尔-钱伯斯(Samuel A. Chambers)在其著作《金钱没有价值》(Money Has No Value)中提出了一种新的、独特的货币信用理论。钱伯斯的新信用理论可以与社会定位理论提出的货币理论进行有效比较。这篇评论文章指出了这些相互竞争的货币本质理论之间的差异。通过研究钱伯斯对社会定位理论的简短评论(主要是轻蔑性评论),我们可以发现钱伯斯对社会定位理论的概念存在缺陷。文章指出,货币的社会定位理论是一个连贯的、具有强大解释力的理论,甚至值得与钱伯斯提供的信用理论的最新版本并列考虑。
Money and Its Body in the Social Positioning and Credit Perspectives: Review Article of Samuel A. Chambers’ Money has No Value
A new and distinctive version of the credit theory of money is advanced by Samuel A. Chambers in his book Money Has No Value. The account of money sponsored by social positioning theory is an alternative perspective against which Chambers’ new credit theory can be productively compared. This review article draws out the differences between these competing theories of the nature of money. An examination of Chambers’ brief, largely dismissive, remarks on social positioning theory reveals a flawed conception of it. The social positioning theory of money is shown to be a coherent and explanatorily powerful account that is worthy of consideration alongside even the updated version of the credit theory supplied by Chambers.
