Posted by admin on Tuesday, January 3, 2023

Meaning of Georg Simmel Money Quote: saying financial economy has an exactitude to economic life which can’t be applied to personal lives. Georg Simmel said:
 
 

 

“The calculative exactness of practical life which the money economy has brought about corresponds to the ideal of natural science: to transform the world by mathematical formulas. Only money economy has filled the days of so many people with weighing, calculating, with numerical determinations, with a reduction of qualitative values to quantitative ones” — Georg Simmel
