Document Summary

Two objects: nature of use are completely different but still possibility of exchange of them in a fair way, equitable (how possible?) Theory(s) of value that emerge (aristotle doesn"t have a theory of value) Nomisma: someone who collects money (money is convention, agreement, measure social desire of different objects), not perfect/ exact system. Emperor converts to christianism (great sack of rome) St. augustine city of god about sack of rome. Heavenly, perfectly city, rules by god"s will and divine justice. Also have city of earth where we exist, not perfect (bc humans, contaminated by sin), city of sinners. Real city must follow rules of heavenly city, live based on these principles. Men must submit to earthly regime, irrelevant what suffering happens because challenges are god"s will. Nature is crushed by supernatural, laws of nature make no sense. No individual will, crushed by god"s will, will belongs to god.
