Abstract

Based on a case study of an organization responsible for publishing a magazine sold to 'homeless' people in Buenos Aires, I examine the social uses of money in philanthropic circles. Turning to the polemic between money and gift at the centre of discussions in anthropology and sociology, I focus on two questions: a) the role of money in demarcating the limits between 'market transactions' and 'gift circulations'; b) the relation between money and morality. Fieldwork involved an ethnographic study of the transactions between the sellers and buyers of this publication.
