"Money is what counts as money" - that's what you learn at the German Money Museum. This means, conversely, that money could be anything. It is only through social consensus that money – essentially a mundane medium of exchange – becomes the ultimate instrument of design. We lend this instrument value and power. For example, in the form of a capitalist system, colonial exploitation, expensive design objects or humanitarian work – all topics in our new issue.

In the magazine
