Money, Social Ontology and LawAuthor(s): Angela Condello, Maurizio Ferraris, John Rogers Searle\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367191115, 978-0367191115\nSynopsis\nPresenting legal and philosophical essays on money, this book explores\n\nthe conditions according to which an object like a piece of paper, or an\n\nelectronic signal, has come to be seen as having a value.\n\nMoney plays a crucial role in the regulation of social relationships and\n\ntheir normative determination. It is thus integral to the very nature of the\n\nsocial, and the question of how society is kept together by a network\n\nof agreements, conventions, exchanges, and codes. All of which must\n\nbe traced down. The technologies of money discussed here by Searle,\n\nFerraris, and Condello show how we conceive the category of the social at\n\nthe intersection of individual and collective intentionality, documentality,\n\nand materiality.
