The Instrumentalities of Money. Advantages and Risks

Abstract

Given the merely instrumental being of money, as is stated in previous articles, now we analyze the diverse kinds of instrumentality that corresponds to money. Not so much with a classificatory or typological desire, but with the intention to grasp more deeply the nature of being a pure instrument, that is, the fullest and exclusively instrumental nature of money. One way of being, regardless of its value as a tool, that makes it relatively close to nothing, just because the good its usefulness is situated “outside of itself”. The money that is fully money ceases to be any other reality: it is nothing more than money.
