| Question 156: Why did bourgeois economics never attempt to derive the genesis of the money form? |
| [123] Obi: I agree with Chris' analysis in [117] of the bourgeois bias towards money as value. I would clarify though, that money did not supplant the exchange value in the commodity. Of course, I am assuming that primitive societies in the same period in discussion did not use money but bartered their wares. What the mercantilists did was introduce quantity as the supreme measure and used money as a medium of measurement. |
