| Résumé anglais |
There is no agreement between economists about the definition of money. The authors indicate the necessity of a transhistoricai definition of the concept of Money. A relevant definition must take account of the wide range of monetary practices and forms which can be observed through time and space. The only two functions of money are account and payment ; the store function is not a specific one. In our societies, monetary dynamics rely on a game between State's power and market practices. With metal, Money, embeded in a fixed price coin, first has a political feature ; with credit, merchants tend to create payment and account instruments requiring authorities'final ratification to get close to Money.
