of accelerating the learning process, and of making possible the 
transmission of knowledge and insight across time and space, 
easily overrides the disadvantages of linguistic codifications of 
experience. In modern mathematics and science there are 
increasingly more and more nonverbal ways of codifying 
experience.

     Money, like language a store of work and experience, acts 
also as translator and transmitter. Especially since the written 
word has advanced the separation of social functions, money is 
able to move away from its role as store of work. This role is 
obvious when a staple or commodity like cattle or fur is used as 
money. As money separates itself from the commodity form 
and becomes a specialist agent of exchange (or translator of 
values), it moves with greater speed and in ever greater 
volume.
