A successful concept for the investor

Money and Material I: What are the origins of money?

Money and Material II: How did coins actually come to physically represent exchange value? Eske Bockelmann explains.

Money and Material III: From a coin as a unit of exchange value to a function that is only defined digitally.

Money and Time I: The economy is forced to make more money out of money.

Money and Time II: The economy is forced to make more money out of money. But what actually drives this compulsion?

Money and Time III: The capitalist system is based on money as capital: money that yields more money.

Money and Power I: A toothbrush belongs to one person. The soil that feed many people follows other laws.

Money and Power II: It’s the people in our society who are forced to buy and sell.

Money and Power III: The need for money springs from governments.

Money and Relationship I: What constitutes the «I» in modern times?

Money and Relationship II: In a modern society, its members are linked by dependence on money. What does this mean?

Money and Relationship III: Our world as external world is made into a sellable thing, a commodity.

Thought Form I: Let you take on an imaginary journey to see what happens with monetary value as a pure number.

Thought Form II: Money and merchandise veil themselves in subject and object.

Thought Form III: We can buy everything with money, and we interpret everything in the form it assumes through money.

Money and Exchange I: Exchange, gift, obligation – when, where and how do they come into play?

Money and Exchange II: Purchasing replaces people’s comprehensive sense of obligation.

Money and Exchange III: The emergence of the market economy made money the universal medium of interchange.

Beyond Money I: Is it possible to think beyond money, since we only know the world shaped by money?

Beyond Money II: In the commons approach, money confronts something that involves collective participation.

Beyond Money III: The modern means of production and distribution are to be re-used – without money.
