The Medals Concerning John Law and the Mississippi System
Author: John W. Adams
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
"John Law was a larger than life figure: a dissolute young rake, then in turn a professional gambler, a brilliant economic theorist, and finally a leading political figure ... This book catalogues the diverse medals that commented on Law's financial system, assembling the much greater amount of information now known about the series along with a supplementary catalogue of types that were suggested by earlier researchers to have referred to Law but are no longer considered to do so."--Jacket.

Money, Language, and Thought
Author: Marc Shell
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801846939
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
In Money, Language, and Thought, Marc Shell explores the interactions between linguistic and economic production as they inform discourse from Chretien de Troyes to Heidegger. Close readings of works such as the medieval grail legends, The Merchant of Venice, Goethe's Faust, and Poe's "The Gold Bug" reveal how discourse has responded to the dissociation of symbol from thing characteristic of money, and how the development of increasingly symbolic currencies has involved changes in the meaning of meaning. Pursuing his investigations into the modern era, Shell points out significant internalization of economic form in Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger. He demonstrates how literature and philosophy have been driven to account self-critically for a "money of the mind" that pervades all discourse, and concludes the book with a discomforting thesis about the cultural and political limits of literature and philosophy in the modern world.
