Articles » Functions of money

Money displays itself through its functions. The following functions are generally singled out:
Measure of value
Measure of value function is an assessment of commodity and services prices by means of price fixation. Money is also an instrument of value terms registration for some economic parameter or liability record.
Instrument of circulation
As an instrument of circulation money acts as an intermediate in commodity circulation. By instrument of circulation one can mean the specific commodity type which is given from buyer to seller while acquiring goods or services.
To define how easily each assets kind can be converted to the instrument of circulation economically the term "liquidity" is used.
Loquidity is an economic term denoting the ability of assets to be sold in a short period of time close to market-price. Liquid means convertible to money.
Price is a money equivalent of the good value; economic term serving to indirectly measure the amount of socially necessary labour time spent to produce goods.
Money is the universal good, i.e. the general abstract equivalent of all the goods value.
Commodity is the product of labour made for exchange and able to satisfy the human wants.
The high liquid, low liquid and non-liquid values (assets) are generally distinguished.
The easier and quicker one can get the asset's overall value, the more liquid it's considered.
Means of hoarding
