Abstract
This article constitutes a theoretical-methodological reflection developed around the category “monetary transfers” as an expression of social assistance policy. The discussion establishes a differentiation between “monetary transfers” and “conditional cash transfers,” based on the historical roots of the latter in policies emanating from the World Bank. In general, the configurations of monetary transfers reproduce the logic of money as a universal commodity, but no longer acquired as a product of wages, through the sale of labor, but through public programs framed in social protection programs; which focus on certain population groups in poverty and extreme poverty mainly– and condition their behavior to obtain common results.
