Menger (1871) y los modelos contemporáneos de bús­queda. Este ejercicio permi te poner en evidencia los limi tes de la teoría que pretende explicar la moneda a partir de la lógica de la decisión individual. El principal concepto de la teoría monetaria de Menger (la vendibilidad de las mercancías) puede reinterpretarse a partir de un modelo de búsqueda.De esta manera se muestra que la emergencia natural de la moneda no es un resultado general y que la vendibilidad es una propiedad derivada de las convenciones sociales. La emergencia de la moneda aparece entonces como un problema de coordinación social que daria un nuevo sentido al papel que juegan las élites de la teoria de Menger. Finalmente, se sugiere la necesidad de explotar de manera más profunda la teoría de Menger a partir de modelos de búsqueda que consideren el proceso dinámico de aprendizaje que permite la transformación de una economía de intercambio no monetaria en una monetaria. Así, la aparición de la moneda debe ser entendida cómo el origen de las condiciones que permi ten la existencia de una sociedad de mercado.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[This article propases a dialogue between C. Menger’ s (1871) theory of the origin of money and the search monetary approach. This exercise allows us to show the limi ta tions encountered by individual decision theory to explain money. Themain concept of Menger’s monetary theory (the saleability of commodities) may be. reconsidered in a search monetary modelo We conclude tha t the spontaneous emergen ce of money is not a general result and saleability is then a property derived from social conventions. In this sense, the emergen ce of money is a social coordination prob­lem, giving new meaning to the elite in Menger‘s theory. Finally, we claim the need to go more in depth into Menger‘s theory. This can be done wi thin a search monetary frame considering the dy­namic learning process that transforms a non-monetary exchange economy into a monetary one. In so doing, the rise of money must be conceived as the origin of the conditions that permit the existence of market society.]]></p></abstract>
