German philosopher and sociologist Georg Simmel argues that the house of tolerance serves as a metaphor for the culture generated by the domination of money, and prostitution is a symbol of human relations, since prostitution and money have a common nature.

"The indifference," writes G. Simmel, "with which they indulge in every new use, the ease with which they leave any subject, because they are truly not connected with any one; the objectivity that excludes any emotional attitude, characteristic of them as pure means - all this forces us to draw an ominous analogy between money and prostitution."

Do you agree that an analogy can be drawn between money and prostitution? Why?
