In many situations coins and banknotes were a proof for the existence of local, independent, political power. People’s attitude toward money was quite an important matter, too; in many situations neither money nor those professionally dealing with money were appreciated socially. Numerous utopian movements disliked money. Communism was one of them. The communist economy was driven — at least in theory — by overwhelming planning rather than by the incentive of money. After the fall of communism a question arised whether all or nearly all public activity should be driven by money or whether some domains of social activity should rather be kept as public domains.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Money as Cultural Phenomenon}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/86522/PDF/9_Kula.pdf}, keywords={money, coins, the attributes of power, communism}, }
