Money as tool, money as resource: The biology of collecting items for their own sake
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 April 2006
Abstract
Money does not stimulate receptors in mimicry of natural agonists; so, by definition, money is not a drug. Attractions of money other than to purchase goods and services could arise from instincts similar to hoarding in other species. Instinctual activities without evolutionary function include earning a billion and writing for BBS.
