| Sumario: | The article seeks to rescue and reformulate a way of thinking about epistemological problems in economics, specifically around the debate on the nature of money. The two antagonistic conceptions about the nature of money are presented; that of money-merchandise and that of money-debt. Then Tony Lawson's ontological proposal is presented that articulates the two conceptions: money is not itself merchandise or debt, but these forms are social positions of money. Some criticisms of this proposal are collected. Finally, within the spirit of trends such as phenomenology and pragmatism, a critical anti-essentialism is proposed. It is argued in favor of money as a social relationship, for the worlds that open and the consequences that occur.
