Mobility and Money: An Attempt for the Convergence of the Two Sociological Theories

Abstract

In the paper an attempt is made to find a points of contact between new mobilities paradigm and a sociological theory of money with the purpose of developing a satisfactory model for explanation of the crisis phenomena in the spatial constitution of the networks and flows. It is suggested that using only its inner resources of analysis mobility paradigm is incapable to account for fluctuations and disruptions of mobilities rhythms. This problem is solved with the help of sociological theory of money, that shed an additional light on the motivational factors of the spatial mobility in modern societies.
