Money and the Morality of Exchange
Jonathan Parry,Maurice Bloch +1 more
TL;DR: This article examined the way money is symbolically represented in a range of different cultures, from South and South-east Asia, Africa and South America, and the moral evaluation of monetary and commercial exchanges as against exchanges of other kinds, concluding that even in a non-monetary economy these features are likely to exist within a certain sphere of activity, and that it is therefore misleading to attribute them to money.
