more on the psychology of money
More from the Grundrisse, p. 232: “But when one considers the anxiety
involved in the doctrine of money in particular, and the feverish
fear with which, in practice, the inflow and outflow of gold and
silver are watched in times of crisis, then it is evident that the
aspect of money which the followers of the Monetary and Mercantilist
System conceived in an artless one-sidedness is still to be taken
seriously, not only in the mind, but as a real economic category.”
