What
is
money?
There
has
always
been
some
form
of
confusion
when
someone
uses
the
word
“money”.
He/she
can
use
the
word
“money”
to
represent
different
thing
depending
on
the
scenario:
什么是钱?当有人用“钱”一词的时候,总有一些混乱的形式。他/她可以用“钱”一词来表示不同的事情,这取决于情景:
1.
Currency:
“Do
you
have
enough
money
for
lunch?”
1。货币:“你有足够的钱吃午饭吗?“
2.
Income:
“How
much
money
do
you
make
a
month?”
2。收入:你一个月赚多少钱?“
3.
Wealth:
“Is
she
from
a
family
with
a
lot
of
money?”
From
the
above
example,
we
know
that
money
can
represent
different
things.
The
most
common
scenario
associated
with
money
is
currency
(or
cash).
As
we
will
discuss
later,
money
can
take
on
many
forms,
hence
it
is
more
important
for
us
to
look
at
money
in
terms
of
what
it
does
rather
than
what
it
is
physically.
The
functions
of
money
can
be
generally
classified
into
three
categories:
(i)
Medium
of
exchange
As
a
medium
of
exchange,
it
facilitates
the
exchange
of
goods
and
services
between
individuals.
Prior
to
the
invention
of
money,
goods
and
services
are
exchange
in
the
form
of
barter.
In
other
words,
you
trade
with
an
individual
who
has
what
you
want,
and
also
wants
what
you
have.
As
a
result,
bartering
requires
a
double
coincidence
of
wants.
It
is
very
difficult
to
find
another
individual
who
has
what
you
want,
and
wants
what
you
have.
In
this
case,
the
cost
of
transaction
is
very
high
for
bartering.
With
the
invention
of
money,
you
no
longer
need
to
find
another
individual
who
has
what
you
want,
and
wants
what
you
have.
All
you
need
to
do
is
find
someone
who
has
what
you
want,
and
you
buy
it
from
him/her
with
“money”.
With
the
invention
of
money,
it
reduces
the
cost
of
transaction
(because
it
facilitates
the
exchange
of
goods
and
services).
3。财富:“是她从一个家庭中有很多钱吗?“从上面的例子,我们知道钱可以代表不同的东西。最常见的情况是货币(或现金)。正如我们以后将讨论的,金钱可以采取许多形式,因此它是更重要的是,我们看钱的东西,而不是什么它是身体。货币的功能一般可分为三类:(一)作为交换媒介的交换媒介,它促进了个人之间的商品和服务的交换。在货币、商品和服务的发明之前,以物以物以物以物的形式交换。换句话说,你与一个拥有你想要的人进行贸易,也想要你拥有的东西。作为一个结果,物物交换需要双重巧合的希望。要找到你想要的另一个人是很困难的,要你拥有什么。在这种情况下,交易成本是很高的交易。随着金钱的发明,你不再需要找到一个你想要的人,并且想要你所拥有的。你所需要做的就是找到一个你想要的人,你可以用“钱”从他/她那里买它。随着货币的发明,它降低了交易的成本(因为它促进了商品和服务的交换)。
