The modern era, marked by profound global financial crises and economic downturns, has been characterized by intense debates and transformative shifts concerning money. This period witnessed the consolidation of national currencies and monetary policies, as well as the diversification of payment technologies and the emergence of numerous financial instruments. Despite being often overshadowed by finance and depoliticized by expert ideologies, money repeatedly revealed itself to be a powerful catalyst for cultural imagination, practical innovation, and public and political contention.
As both a form of liquidity and a claim on wealth, modern money remains profoundly unsettled, caught between the competing interests of private individuals and the demands of the public sphere. Epic battles ensue over the infrastructures of value creation and circulation, as well as their distributional consequences. This cultural history of money in the modern age explores key cultural case studies of the period, delving into themes such as technologies, ideas, rituals and religion, the everyday, art and representation, interpretation, and the myriad issues of the age.
Drawing upon a rich tapestry of visual and textual sources, this collection of essays offers insightful perspectives on the complex and multifaceted relationship between money, culture, and society. It sheds light on the ways in which money has shaped and been shaped by cultural practices, ideologies, and historical developments, providing a valuable contribution to our understanding of the modern world.
