"Money is always there but the pockets change; it is not in the same pockets after a change, and that is all there is to say about money"

About this Quote

Gertrude Stein's quote, "Money is constantly there but the pockets modification; it is not in the very same pockets after a change, and that is all there is to say about cash," talks to the fluid nature of wealth. While cash itself stays a consistent presence, its place and circulation can be unstable. In other words, money changes hands, shifts in between people and institutions, and streams through different channels. Stein's quote suggests that looking for to understand the intricacies of money and its circulation is a workout in futility, as its motions are ever-changing and often unforeseeable. Eventually, Stein appears to imply that one should concentrate on the bigger image and recognize that money is just a part of a larger system of economic exchange.
