Money Counts: Studies in Social Analysis, cartea 10

Editat de Mario Schmidt, Sandy Ross
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2020
Traditionally viewed as an abstraction, the quantative nature of money is essential in evaluating the relationship between monetary systems and society. Money Counts moves beyond abstraction, exploring the conceptual diversity and everyday enactment of money's quantity. Drawing from case studies including British jewelers, blood money payments in Germanic law codes, and the quotidian use of money in cosmopolital Moscow, a Western Kenyan village, and socialist Havana, the chapters in this volume offer new theoretical and empirical interpreations of money's quantative nature as it relates to abstraction, sociality, materiality, freedom, and morality.
