'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. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Cultural Economy.
