People used to really think the weight in gold was the real value o substance of money. 3 decades into the digital era, we are confronting the problematic character of the "value" of money as resource and its "substance": nothing but a metaphor or representation of real economic value, which just as love and peace, cannot be sharply defined or measured.

I really believe that it’s crucial to think about these themes, particularly among microfinance practitioners, many thanks for helping us with that. <br />Although Simmel wrote a long time ago about the modern money economy and how that shaped human experience, still many of his writings can help us rethink what “money” means in the 21 century. For him, money was among other things a vehicle of abstract value, purely exchange value. <br />But what happens when we push the notion of “money” just a bit into the future (our present times actually) and start thinking about the implications of e- money in peoples’ lives. Here is where metaphors can really help us understand how a newer format of money can reshape human experience. <br />It looks like, whether it’s transmitted over a mobile phone or the internet; e- money is better suited to survive than physical money, both in developed and underdeveloped countries. Without a doubt its main characteristics are increased abstraction and tempo, which makes it extremely convenient when you need to exchange and interact in the marketplace or save and store value. For many of us just those characteristics could help the world poorest to find new and better economic opportunities for them and their families.
