Description: Alongside existent debates between state and market theories of money, this volume explores people's struggles and potential to make money to suit themselves, spanning local case studies and emergent world economies to construct a framework of the 'human economy'. Contributors to this volume attempt to think about money as a category of thought, offer theories on luxury and sex in capitalist development, and follow the evolution of money today from the role of the global South in shaping its future, to cross-border investment in China, to Bitcoin as politics. "Money in a Human Economy" offers multiple perspectives on capital's central role in the formation of world society, as well as in the shaping of its current discontents.
