Title: "What is money?"
Abstract: We discuss the issue of money in the perspective of the Socratic-Platonic question “What is X?”, using different methodologies, such as definition, quotations, the pyramid of meaning, word cloud, the theory of opposition. Then we examine the notion of business, the case of Switzerland, the relation between money and art. In the last part we place money among eight other characteristics of human beings.
