What is Money ... ?
People say money is not everything. However, everything will be hard, if we do not have money. Many people, consciously or unconsciously, devote their lives to making money. He sacrificed almost everything, including the people he loved, in order to earn more money. No exaggeration to say, that money is his God. However, money is not a neutral item. He has the effect of changing the things he touches. The effect of this change is not always good, but it can damage the value of it. Money can also create a sense of envy born of injustice, when people who have a lot of money get more opportunities, than people with less money.
people created value by making objects, then separating themselves from those objects and then trying to overcome that distance. He found that objects that were too close were not considered valuable and objects that were too far away for people to obtain were also not considered valuable. What was also considered in determining value was the scarcity, time, sacrifice, and difficulties involved in getting objects. In the pre-modern era, beginning with bartering, different systems of exchange for goods and services allowed for the existence of incomparable systems of value (land, food, honor, love, etc.). With the advent of a universal currency as an intermediary, these systems became reconcilable, as everything tended to become expressible in a single quantifiable metric: its monetary cost.
Money and God.
Michael Bienert wrote an article with the title Philosophie ein Gott namens Geld (2008). He sees that money in modern society has become so out of human control. As a result, it is not humans who control money, but money that controls humans. Money is like God himself; able to dictate human actions.
"The more perfect money is perceived as a medium of exchange," Bienert writes, "the more it is abstract and without matter, and the more it becomes universal, it will be more like God." Money is no longer physical, paper or metal. It becomes just a credit card number or debit card. It becomes increasingly abstract, far from the reach of human physical hands.
However, the effect is even greater. People can use it, even if they do not have it, such as credit. He has great power, can even turn wrong into right, for example by hiring high-cost lawyers to save corruptors from imprisonment. It is no exaggeration to say that money has become the God who governs human life, even though money is the creation of man himself.
Many people believe that man is free. However, they forget that freedom is worth the price. To have and enjoy freedom, people need money. To enjoy a refreshing holiday trip, one needs to buy a plane ticket. To be able to enjoy a good book, people need money to buy the book. It is no exaggeration to say that money is a prerequisite for freedom.
Money and Relationships between Humans.
Also noticed by Bienert, using the theoretical framework of Georg Simmel in his book Philosophie des Geldes, is how money actually destroys existing culture and social values. In the great German cities of the early 20th century, like Berlin, as stated by Simmel, money became so important. It plays not only as a means of exchange, but also as a determinant of human relationships.
Logically, with the money, life will prosper, and people will be happy. However, the opposite happened. Money actually corrupts the relationship between humans. When love and friendship mix with money, the value of both will be corrupted, and become low in value. Money allows at the same time destroys the culture and relationships between humans themselves.
The value of an object derived from a person's ability to set between his distance to the object. The object of value or not is the time it takes to get it, the scarcity, the difficulty of acquiring it, and the exchange rate of the object.
And in this case in his theory said that the exchange rate is said to be money and not barter again as it used to. According to money is a tool for determining value, money can also mean objects to make a distance from someone to the object as well as providing a way of settling to overcome the distance made by the money itself.
So in theory more emphasis on the relationship between value and money, how money can make the boundaries of a value and money alone can overcome these limitations.
