Las identidades del dinero

Abstract

An attempt has been made throughout this article to explain the social and symbolic moments that comprise the extensive biography of money. In the absence of a differentiated economic rationality, money is born, unintentionally, in the temple beneath the sacrificial atmosphere, appears in modernity as a technical medium that represents the hope of the individual owning it in the geniality of the market as a pacifying element of social customs and reaches our postmodernity as an end in itself which, converted into a de-materialized bit, aspires to never cease circulating through the new virtual space.
