計劃進修PhD/Research討論區 (11) All money is a matter of belief

All money is a matter of belief點解?

The father of modern economics, Adam Smith, once wrote: "All money is a matter of belief." The question I want to pose (and hopefully answer in this article), then, is: Should we believe? I’m afraid, however, that the answer is a rather tricky one.

Since Kent’s blog is called The Financial Philosopher and since I'm an economics graduate student with a philosophical proclivity, it seems only fitting that I attempt to tackle a philosophical question about the nature of money.

Most of us wake up in the morning and go to a place called 'work' in order to earn money. And most of us surely spend money every day. In essence, money is a medium of exchange that helps us get the things we want and need. In other words, you provide your labor in exchange for this medium called money, which you can then exchange for others goods or services you want. [1] However, it’s important to note that money has no intrinsic value (unless it’s commodity money). Is money, then, really the thing we want?
It seems fairly obvious that most of us would prefer to have more money as opposed to less. In some ways, this is merely a truism. After-all, who wouldn’t want to be able to buy more goods and services? All other things equal, I’d certainly rather have more money in my life! With that point in mind, I’m not here to deny that material well-being can improve happiness because I believe it certainly can. However, the quest to acquire money can come with hefty spiritual costs that are oft ignored.

As such, I think most of us, when we say we want money, really mean that we want wealth. So what, then, exactly is wealth? Being wealthy means having the actual things, both tangible and intangible, that we want in our lives. An eclectic array of things can make us wealthy (and in many different ways), e.g.,: a place to live, leisure time, a loving family, wonderful friends, gadgets, a creative outlet, and travel.

What's interesting to note is that you can be wealthy without having money. As Kent is fond of saying, "True wealth is not measured by financial means." However, money is needed for some of these things (unless you are bartering) and so to say that money doesn't matter at all isn’t entirely accurate either.

Most of us want the things that money can buy, but often what makes us happiest are the things that money can't buy. Having a healthy balance between these two is the key to being wealthy and it's a different balance for each of us individually.
I think pursuing wealth is the more important thing than pursuing money, but we usually only hear public discourse surrounding money. If what we really want is wealth, why do we waste our lives chasing money? Starting at a very young age, society bombards us with the message that money makes people happy and successful. As you can see, however, this rests on the mistaken assumption that wealth and money are synonymous terms; they’re not.
