Description
Moments of Capital: World Theory, World Literature offers a groundbreaking analysis of how capital and financial systems permeate global literary and cultural production. Eli Jelly-Schapiro examines critical moments where economic theory intersects with world literature, challenging conventional understandings of both fields.
The book argues that literature is not separate from financial systems but deeply embedded within them. Through close readings of canonical and contemporary texts, Jelly-Schapiro demonstrates how capitalist structures shape narrative forms, character development, and thematic concerns across cultures and time periods.
Part of the Currencies series focused on new financial thinking, this volume provides essential reading for scholars of comparative literature, economic theory, cultural studies, and global humanities. It bridges the gap between literary criticism and financial studies, offering innovative frameworks for understanding how money and meaning-making are inextricably linked in our interconnected world.
