    In Frederic Bastiat’s essay “What is Money,” his character named F— denounces money, yet praises riches. The patient bystander, B— is confused, as would be nearly any person of his time, and even the majority of people of today. Bastiat uses this exchange between strangers to prove to the reader that money is not wealth, which contradicted the economic system of the time, mercantilism. Money does have an important function, though, and Bastiat wants to make clear to the reader what money is, and what it is not. Without money, to facilitate exchange people would need to barter, or directly trade goods for other goods or services for other services.…

    Lewis Lapham’s view on “the American faith in money” is not correct, and there are only opinions to back up his claims, not real facts. I disagree with his views, and everything he has said is very, very biased opinion and not facts from trusted sources. Lapham does this by stating that Americans are greedy and money is everything in the world to them. He also implies that without money, Americans are hopeless and have lost their happiness. First, continuing on the topic about the American people, Lapham uses Henry Adams quote from his autobiography: “Americans weren’t much good as materialists had they been so deflected by the pursuit of money that they could turn in any other direction.”…
