Moses Hess, a writer and early socialist.
The record calls his 1845 book The Essence of Money a moral reframing of money as social blood.
In 1845 Hess wrote The Essence of Money. It gave the same idea a moral purpose: money as social blood, a tool meant to serve the common good rather than just individuals. Publicly, Hess is presented as framing socialism as an ethical project to be realised through the reorganisation of economic relations — social justice through economic governance. The same basic formula of international social justice via economic administration later appears in Alfred Zimmern's The Third British Empire. The record notes this does not establish any funding, membership, collaboration, or institutional link between Zimmern and Hess. Marx was won over to communism in 1842 by Hess, and Hess had made Engels acquainted with Marx.
It shows how a moral vision of money and economic governance can travel into later international schemes, even without direct ties between the people involved.
