'Capitalist critique and proletarian reasoning fit for our time' -
Peter Linebaugh Taking the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David
Hume as its subject, this book breaks new ground in focusing its
lens on a little-studied aspect of Hume's thinking: his
understanding of money. George Caffentzis makes both an
intervention in the field of monetary philosophy and into Marxian
conceptions of the relation between philosophy and capitalist
development. He vividly charts the ways in which Hume's philosophy
directly informed the project of 'civilizing' the people of the
Scottish Highlands and pacifying the English proletariat in
response to the revolts of both groups at the heart of the empire.
Built on careful historical and philosophical detective work,
Civilizing Money offers a stimulating and radical political reading
of the ways in which Hume's fundamental philosophical claims
performed concrete political functions.
