He provides us with a classic analysis of the social, psychological and philosophical aspects of the money economy, full of brilliant insights into the forms that social relationships take. He analyzes the relationships of money to exchange, human personality, the position of women, and individual freedom. Simmel also offers us prophetic insights into the consequences of the modern money economy and the division of labour, in particular the processes of alienation and reification in work and urban life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn immense and profound piece of work it demands to be read today and for years to come as a stunning account of the meaning, use and culture of money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorg Simmel (1858-1918) was born in Berlin, the youngest of seven children.
