Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with an issue of a role of money in a modern economy. It proposes a new definition of this term and specifies it as “rights to buy goods and services’. Such a way to under-stand money allows to better understand its functions in the economy and leads to important con-clusions. The author shows mechanism of money creation in processes of intermediation in a banking system and discusses a role of a central bank and international relationships reflected in a balance of payments. He describes creation of money aggregates and argues that crisis of modern money in its economic functions results from crises of institutions of the modern financial system.
