摘要：The main objective of this paper is to discuss a complex and yet not taken in consideration global public
good: money. Money is a social convention created and accepted by people in order to facilitate economic
transactions, being a symbol, without an intrinsic value (fiduciary money). It is universally used and it has
value only in connection with the products and services that can be acquired, based on people’s consent
and their psychological acceptance. In other words, its value lies in the purchasing power given by the
quantity of commodities and services that can be bought with money. The authority that warrants the value
of money is the central bank by supervising the money in the economy. Moreover, money can be regarded
as a continuum, a constant throughout history: changeable over time and yet the same, of vital importance
in people’s lives.
