Performing Capital: Toward a Cultural Economy of Popular and Global Finance de R. Aitken

Performing Capital: Toward a Cultural Economy of Popular and Global Finance

Autor R. Aitken
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 oct 2007
This books reviews forms of capital 'popular finance' and argues that it is important, as a site at which capital is visible not as a macro-structural reality but as a category itself, which needs to be made and performed in the spaces where is does not already exist. 'Culture' is used to intervene into everyday spaces to develop capital there.

Recenzii

"Rob Aitken's work will leave readers in little doubt that 'finance capital' is not some coherent and extra-ordinary force that occupies a unique place outside of 'real' political-economic life, but is precariously assembled and visualised through the mundane performances of saving and self-government. Conceptually incisive and empirically rich, Performing Capital is essential reading for political economists and for all who are concerned with financial markets and the power of Wall Street"
- Paul Langley, author of World Financial Orders and The Everyday Life of Global Finance"This is a wonderful account of the constitution of global finance in diverse spaces of everyday life. It is perhaps the first volume to take seriously the importance of visual culture to the history of finance. This book is an important addition to the growing literature on the interdisciplinary study of financial practice - and a good read!"
- Dr Marieke de Goede, Department of European Studies, University of Amsterdam
