Not since Georg Simmel's The Philosophy of Money has there been a book that so persuasively examines money— hence also, capitalism—from the point of view of culture and knowledge. In Money: ATheory of Modern Society Nico Stehr and Dustin Voss have made an important contribution—not just to social theory but to our understanding of the current world order. —Charles Lemert, University Professor and John C. Andrus Professor of Social Theory Emeritus, Wesleyan University, USA

This new masterpiece explores the mysterious existence of money—a myth without intrinsic value. Stehr and Voss carefully disclose how and why money (and economic relations in general) "disguise" social processes and what putting prices on land, capital, labor, and knowledge means for societies. A must read for any scholar in sociology. —Lucia Reisch, Professor, Copenhagen Business School, Department of Management, Society and Communication, Denmark

This is a very ambitious and interesting volume on the many different roles that money plays in the modern world. Perhaps it can be characterized as something that Georg Simmel, the author of The Philosophy of Money, would have written if he had lived today. Read and enjoy! —Richard Swedberg, Professor of Sociology, Cornell University, USA

Social theory is in need of renewal, in a world in which the past is recognizable but no longer informative in terms of the old categories. Nico Stehr and Dustin Voss go to the heart of the problem: the role of money and the problematic relation of the fact of price to the puzzlingly elusive facts of value, such as the value of knowledge, and indeed of work itself. This book is an excellent inventory of, and introduction to, the intellectual resources we have for this renewal, and a contribution to it. —Stephen Turner, Distinguished Professor, University of South Florida, USA

Money has been at the center of social theory in its different attempts to understand modern society and to disclose its dynamics from the classics up to our time. The study of Nico Stehr and Dustin Voss is an extraordinary enrichment of this tradition. It starts from what we know and leads us systematically step by step far beyond the state of the art to help us understand and explain how money in its contemporary form of the financialization of everything penetrates every sphere of human action to transform modern society fundamentally. This is social theory at its best. The study features all qualities to make it a classic. —Richard Münch, Emeritus of Excellence, Department of Sociology, University of Bamberg, Germany
