This volume is a debate about a sociology and economics of money: a
form of positive trespassing. It is unique in being written by
scholars of both disciplines committed to this mutual venture and
in starting from the original groundwork laid by Geoffrey Ingham.
The contributors look critically at money's institutions and the
meanings and history of money-creation and show the cross cutting
purposes or incommensurable sides of money and its crises. These
arise from severe tensions and social conflicts about the
production of money and its many purposes. We demonstrate the
centrality of money to capitalism and consider social disorders
since the 2007 crisis, which marks the timeliness and need for
dialogue. Both disciplines have far too much to offer to remain in
the former, damaging standoff. While we are thankful to see a
possible diminution of this split, remnants are maintained by
mainstream economic and sociological theorists who, after all the
crises of the past 30 years, and many before, still hold to an
argument that money really does not 'matter'. We suggest, to many
different and interested audiences, that since money is a promise,
understanding this social relation must be a joint though plural
task between economics and sociology at the very least.
