货币继续给主流新古典微观和宏观经济学带来理论和概念上的困难。在大多数处理方法中，它是“中性的”，或者是：掩盖潜在“实体”经济的象征性“面纱”；对理性最大化个人有用的特殊“商品”；或作为总体经济“变量”模型的一部分。这些方法的方法论假设无法解释货币作为价值衡量标准和可接受的支付手段的基本特征。如果将货币概念化为社会关系的结构，那么许多困难都可以得到解决。
Money continues to present theoretical and conceptual difficulties for mainstream neoclassical micro- and macroeconomics. In most treatments it is “neutral,” as either: a symbolic “veil” over an underlying “real” economy; a special “commodity” with utility for the rational maximizing individual; or as part of a model of aggregate economic “variables.” The methodological assumptions of these approaches cannot account for the fundamental characteristics of money as a measure of value and acceptable means of payment. Many of these diffculties are resolved if money is conceptualized as a structure of social relations.
