Drawing on folklore, literature and popular culture, the book links tales of monstrosity from early-modern England, including Mary Shelley’s \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, to a spate of recent vampire- and zombie-fables from sub-Saharan Africa, and it connects these to Marx’s persistent use of monster-metaphors in his descriptions of capitalism. Reading across these tales of the grotesque, \u003ci\u003eMonsters of the Market\u003c\/i\u003e offers a novel account of the cultural and corporeal economy of a global market-system. The book thus makes original contributions to political economy, cultural theory, commodification-studies and ‘body-theory’.","brand":"David McNally","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268240126203,"sku":"9789004201576","price":181.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_c26740b9-2eff-425f-b1fa-f5ba31d3673c.jpg?v=1778022861","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/monsters-of-the-market-9789004201576","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
