This paper summarizes and studies the previous economic crisis since the 20th century, and then with the basic position and view of Marxism, especially Marxist philosophy of economic (mainly the Philosophy of Money), and analyzes the current international economic situation and the relationship among countries, explores the origin, formation reasons, law, the pros and cons, response measures and risk prevention measures of the financial crisis.This article is divided into three chapters. The first chapter outlines the basic content of the Philosophy of Money, especially from the Marxist philosophy of economic, detaches out the basic elements of the Philosophy of Money as follows: money is not object, but a social relationship; form of money and social-economic pattern; the realization of monetary function rests with interpersonal movements; monetary duplicity; money and the free development of humans; the dialectical relationship between money consumption and accumulation and so on.
