{"product_id":"beyond-liquidity","title":"Beyond Liquidity","description":"\u003cp\u003e‘Liquidity’, or rather lack of it, lies at the heart of the ongoing global financial crisis. In this collection of essays, the metaphor of money as liquidity, and the model of crisis it entails, is deliberated by a range of scholars from economics, history, anthropology, literature, and sociology. This volume offers a rhetorical explanation of the social, cultural, and historical contexts in which metaphors of money are produced, circulate, and fail. These essays, first presented at \"After the Crash, Beyond Liquidity,\" a conference on money and metaphors held at the University of Virginia, USA, in October of 2009, were drafted in the wake of global uncertainty, TARP bailouts, the Great Recession, programs of stimulus and austerity, and recurrent threats of sovereign default in the EU. They question the language of liquidity and flows that is characteristic of everyday business, exposing what metaphors of money hide and explaining why the idea of liquidity has proved so durable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Cultural Economy. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255109472600,"sku":"9780415658829","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415658829_1942a053-12f3-4ab1-8f37-4bc4b5f56809.jpg?v=1768462209","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/beyond-liquidity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
