MEANING OF MONEY
Money is anything that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and
repayment of debts and that serves as a medium of exchange.
A medium of exchange is anything that is widely accepted as a means of payments.
Definitions: - Many economists developed definition for money. Among these, definitions
of Walker and Crowther are given below:
“Money is, what money does” - Walker.
,“Money can be anything that is generally acceptable as a means of exchange
and at the same time acts as a measure and a store of value ”. –Crowther
The narrow definition of money is based on the function of money as a
medium of exchange and includes in it only currency and chequable deposits.
Those assets which are widely used as a store of value like saving and fixed
deposits at banks are called NEAR MONEY and are frequently included only in
a broader definition of money.
