## Summary

Assuming that our society may exist without positive laws it could also exist without money. The Russian reformer, Leo N. Tolstoy, is consistent with his doctrine of social reform[1]. According to him enacted law is violence, private property is evil, and subsequently “money as a centre around which economic science clusters”[2] cannot be anything else, but a medium of oppression[3]. Describing the economic nature and offices performed by money, he dissents widely from the politico-economists and disapproves of their teachings on the same subject-matter.
