В статье с помощью семиотического метода исследуются социальные функции денег. Автор делает краткий обзор семиотики, показывает, как исследование смыслов и контекстов можно связать с изучением денег, особенно отмечая аналогию между деньгами и языком и описывая вклад теоретиков австрийской и институционалистской традиции. С применением марксистского подхода к анализу символического значения денег показывается, как деньги становятся дискурсом власти.

The article with the help of semiotic methodology considers social functions of money. The author provides a brief overview of semiotics, and shows how to establish links between inquiry into meanings and contexts and study of money, putting accent on the analogy between money and language and discussing contributions from Austrian and institutionalist traditions. Marxist approach to the analysis of moneys symbolic meanings is used to show how money becomes discourse of power.
