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, \u003cem\u003eThe Philosophy of Money \u003c\/em\u003egives us an example of his comprehensive analysis of the interrelationships between the most diverse and seemingly connected social phenomena. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis revised edition of the translation by Tom Bottomore and David Frisby, includes a new Preface by David Frisby.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georg Simmel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415341728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415341721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 7.10w x 1.32d","brand":"Georg Simmel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227514368255,"sku":"9780415341721","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2caaa343-309c-44b5-b1a2-eab2137368ac.jpg?v=1692809106","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-money-georg-simmel-9780415341721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
