En savoir plus sur le livre
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, critical attention has shifted from the economy to the most fundamental feature of all market economies - money. Yet despite the centrality of political struggles over money, it remains difficult to articulate its democratic possibilities and limits. 'The Currency of Politics' takes readers from ancient Greece to today to provide an intellectual history of money, drawing on the insights of key political philosophers to show how money is not just a medium of exchange but also a central institution of political rule. Money appears to be beyond the reach of democratic politics, but this appearance - like so much about money - is deceptive. Even when the politics of money is impossible to ignore, its proper democratic role can be difficult to discern.
