论货币对社会的二重性

自从人类社会出现货币以后,货币逐渐成了人的社会化的催化剂,社会流动的加速器,社会互动的引擎,同时,也是社会分层的依据之一。货币对社会有正功能,也有负动能。货币也会误导人走向社会失范。因此,我们一方面要加强社会管理,另一方面,在观念上应当破除货币拜物教,在社会政策上尽量缩小贫富差距。随着社会的变迁,货币在演进,但社会在货币的演进过程中,又正在向货币提出新的挑战。

On the Duality of Money in Society

After its first appearance in human society, money has gradually become the catalyst of human socialization, the accelerator of social flow, the engine of social interaction as well as one of the bases of social classification. However, money has not only positive effects but also negative effects on society. Since money tends to lead people astray, on the one hand, we must strengthen social management; on the other hand, we should, concerning ideology, do away with money fetishism, and in policy reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. Money is evolving as society changes, while society is challenging money during its evolution.
