Cultures of Financialization: Fictitious Capital in Popular Culture and Everyday Life

by Max Haiven

Book Overview

Drawing on a wide range of case studies, Cultures of Financialization argues that, in our age of crisis, the global economy is more invested than ever in culture and the imagination. We must take the idea of 'fictitious capital' seriously as a way to understand the power of finance, and what might be done to stop it.
