What on earth is money? While the humanities have largely remained silent on this question in modern times, philosophical and theological interest in the nature of money has been reawakened since the financial crisis of 2007-08. Starting with bestselling authors Tomáš Sedláček, Yuval Harari and David Graeber, this reading report summarizes the attempts in Germany between 2010 and 2024 by Dieter Schnaas, Jochen Hörisch, Christina von Braun, Christoph Türcke, Eske Bockelmann, Frank Engster, Aldo Haesler, and Oliver Schlaudt to trace the nature of money. Finally, the focus is on England and France, where Philipp Goodchild, from a religiousphilosophical perspective, and Jacques Ellul, from a theological perspective, have questioned the innocence of money.
