The Mechanisms of Society and the Money Nikolai Andrenov

Money is related to great secrets and mysteries. In general, the economic laws work, but sometimes there are deviations from these laws. There is a law of economy, the mass of commodities has to correspond to the money mass, the violation of this law leads to inflation. But sometimes, as in the case of the American dollar, it does not. Why? We introduce a concept of "the overall connections of money", and argue that money is related to different social substances: the mass consciousness, the phenomenon of the pressure of the past, when money appear "out of nothing", etc. Karl Marx studied the economic processes, when the money has been strongly related to the goods, but nowadays these relations are changed. Sometimes, it seems that money has incomprehensible properties, for example, how can US dollars express American military power, in the sense that the laws of economy do not work with the same rigorous way as in the past? Or as a result of it, money has a great potential reserve and can be functional for quite a long time. That is what we are trying to figure out - why it happens and whether will potential power of the dollar end and when will it happen?
