`We should all be grateful for this translationIt must have been extremely hard work, but it shows no trace of it. Indeed, it positively sparkles.'
- Alan Ryan, The Guardian'Its greatness...lies in ceaseless and varied use of the money form to unearth and conceptually reveal incommensurabilities of all kinds, in social reality fully as much as in thought itself.' - Fredric Jameson
Georg Simmel (1858-1918) was born in Berlin, the youngest of seven children. He studied philosophy and history at the University of Berlin and was one of the first generation of great German sociologists that included Max Weber.
