| Summary: | "What is the difference between money and capitap? Is anti-globalization necessarily anti-money?These points and many more are debated and dealt with in a readable yet rigorous manner in this book. The work examines the case that the capitalist ecoomy is permeated with non-economic relations that flow from the exploitative relations of production. Lapavitas shows that markets have one aspect in common: money--and critically analyzes all aspects of this slippery concept.This snappy, well argued book will interest and inform students and researchers not only in economics, but also in sociology and anthropology. Well-informed critics of capitalism will also find it to be a tremondously useful read."--Publisher description. |
