Bracketed by global financial crises and economic downturns, the
modern age has been defined by debates about, and transformations
of, money. The period witnessed the consolidation of national
currencies and monetary policies as well as the diversification of
payment technologies and the proliferation of financial
instruments. Throughout, even as it appeared abstracted by finance
and depoliticized by expert ideologies, money was revealed again
and again to be a powerful medium of cultural imagination and
practical inventiveness as well as the site of public and political
struggles. Modern money - both as a form of liquidity and as a
claim on wealth - remains deeply unsettled, caught between private
and public interests and subject to epic struggles over the
infrastructures of value creation and circulation and their
distributional consequences. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and
textual sources, A Cultural History of Money in the Modern Age
presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the
period on the themes of technologies, ideas, ritual and religion,
the everyday, art and representation, interpretation, and the
issues of the age.
