Money as an Institution and Money as an Object

Journal of Social Ontology 6 (2):265-279 (2020)

Abstract

The folk conception of money as an object is not a promising starting point to develop general, explanatory metaphysical accounts of the social world. A theory of institutions as rules in equilibrium is more consistent with scientific theories of money, is able to shed light on the folk view, and side-steps some unnecessary puzzles.
