- This 300-page monograph investigates the complex ways that economic and financial ideas and practices inflect the writing of fiction, especially of contemporary writers. It explores a wide range of key ideas to contextualise its argument, from the theories of Adam Smith, to the gold standard, fiat money, Derrida’s Specters of Marx, neoliberalism, and the efficient market hypothesis. The book engages closely with the work of a wide spectrum of contemporary novelists.
