Un nouvel essai examine comment l'argent façonne la perception des bâtiments et d'autres objets matériels au sein de la société.

L'article aborde la double nature des structures, notant leurs attributs physiques aux côtés des détails invisibles liés à la propriété et à la tarification. Il s'appuie sur des débats économiques historiques, incluant des perspectives du début des années 2000 et de la crise financière de 2007. Les auteurs soulignent les tensions dans la théorie économique concernant le rôle de l'argent par rapport à la réalité tangible. Cet ouvrage est extrait du livre à paraître Against Money.
