对马克思货币理论的再认识

Some Reflections on Marxist Money Theory

由于历史条件的变化，对马克思的货币理论需要进一步认识：马克思把货币看作是充当一般等价物的特殊商品，而纸币并不是具有内在价值的商品；马克思认为只要贵金属才能执行价值尺度、储藏手段、世界货币职能，而纸币却在事实上执行着这些职能；马克思所揭示的货币流通规律是对货币运动的高度理论概括，但这一规律在实际经济生活中也有不适用之处。

With the change of the historical condition, we need to reconsider Marxist money theory. Marx treated money as special goods to act as the general equivalent, and the paper money did not maintain any value, while the precious metals did and were regarded as the means of preservation and the world money. But the paper money fulfills all the functions in real life; Marx's law of money circulation remains the highly theoretical condensation ofmoney motion. Nevertheless, it is not totally suitable in actual economic life.
