In this connection Annie Reich brought to my attention the observation that any suppression of anal-erotic instinct already presupposes a certain- economic stability of possessions. 235 ff.Ī sociological investigation of the origin of money presupposes at the very outset a knowledge of the development of private property and its inequalities. Instead, the instinctual structure itself, especially the relative distribution of libido between genitality and pre-genitality-among the individual partial instincts in general-depend» to a large extent upon social factors. Hence it is by no means a case of the instincts being biologically determined and only their objects being socially conditioned.

To be sure, we are not concerned in the present paper with analyzing the child’s behavior toward money, but with the methodological question of what analysis can contribute to the knowledge of the phylogenetic development of money. Psychoanalysis is doubtless alone competent to solve these problems. So correct is Odier on this point, that we wish to refer to his and Ferenczi’s work for a discussion of the problems of how the child learns about money and understands its use according to its conception of reality, which corresponds to the stage of development of the child’s ego and libido at the time in question.
