Description: "Caffentzis grounds this ampliative examination of Locke's philosophy of economics, language, and history in the political crisis that resulted when monetary pirates "clipped" the silver currency of 17th-century England. His interventionist treatment undoes virtually all standard critical works on Locke."--BOOK JACKET.
