"Money is the universal means and power, exterior to man"
Marx's statement conveys the significance of money, which I believe is fundamental in pursuing my question. Money is essentially the basic structure for the capitalist economy, hence its downfalls may be traced here.
"As the persevering power, money then appears as the enemy of man and social bonds that pretend to self - subsistence"
My understanding is that Mark believes the capitalistic understanding of money is one of the major faults in the political ideology. Hence, one could argue that this perception of money, which is the apparent 'enemy of man', is a factor in the causes of Boom and Bust in the system.
