Lukacs was a student both of Weber and Simmel and it was those two who "tinged the spectacles" through which Lukacs first saw "Marx, the sociologist". Simmel's Philosophy of Money should be required reading for economists not least because, according to Simmel, "Not a single line of these investigations is meant to be a statement about economics." "- so the fact that two people exchange their products is by no means simply an economic fact. Such a fact - that is, one whose content would be exhausted in the image that economics presents of it - does not exist." regards, Tom Walker http://www.vcn.bc.ca/timework/covenant.htm
